I know someone from school in same year as me who had younger brother called Barry. Her brother died early 20's and in his memory named one of her sons after her brother.

 

My fav aunt is called Margaret and while I know nobody under 40 with that name I feel like if I had a daughter i'd give her middle name something like Margaret or Margot. Not Maggie as all I can think about is The Simpsons.

I know a Maggie. She's 21.

It's a mystery to me how people sneer at the idea of Barry or Gar(r)y, yet Harry has  been popular in recent years.

When I was a child Harry was an old man's name. 

Harry Potter probably has a lot to do with it. I knew several Harrys in school and university, as well two Rons, a Luna and a Neville all born between the late 1990's/early 2000's when Harry Potter became a huge success.

 

Since we are talking about interesting/unusual names let me share a few that I know of personally.

 

I knew a girl named Nevaeh in university and as I am sure you all can imagine, she took a good amount of crap for her name.

 

My brother has a good friend who's name is Ebenezer, named after Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol.

 

There's also this fellow I once met who's full name is, just hold on a minute. Michael Edward George Elizabeth Florence Kenneth Katherine Alexander Robertson-Wilson. The apparent reasoning behind this is that Michael's parents wanted to honor his grandparents/great grandparents since they had only planned on having one child, so they just put all the names together.

Margaret is a splendid name as it has so many versions, diminutives and nicknames. Margo, Maggie, Meg, Peggy, Margi, Madge, etc, even Daisy or Pearl.

Certainly that has kept it in fashion, but it re-emerged before that.

No discussion of naming fuckwittery is complete without the Reverend Ralph Tollemache 
 

Quote

 

Tollemache is best known for the unusual names that he gave to his many children. He had at least five children from his first marriage:

Florence Caroline Artemesia (19 February 1855 – 24 May 1935)

Evelyne Clementina Wentworth Cornelia Maude (7 June 1856 – 1919)

Granville Grey Marchmont Manners Plantagenet (8 June 1858 – 20 April 1891)

Marchmont Murray Reginald Grasett Stanhope Plantagenet (24 December 1860 – 10 April 1898)

His imagination took flight when he named the many children from his second marriage:

Lyonulph Cospatrick Bruce Berkeley Jermyn Tullibardine Petersham de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet (11 January 1892 – 30 November 1966)

I quite like Anselm.
