8 Old-Fashioned Baby Names Your Kids Would Hate

Marjorie 

Once a name that enjoyed popularity (even if it was nearly a century ago), Marjorie is unlikely to see its name back in the spotlight.  

Roger 

Roger is an old-fashioned name that saw a large spike in popularity in the mid-20th century, but since then it's really died down. 

Barbara 

With its Greek origins, Barbara means "foreign" or "strange". And in today's world, seeing a young child named Barbara would certainly seem strange! 

Dwight 

We'll never know. But let's just say it's definitely one of the least popular baby names in the United States. 

Pauline 

Once a very popular feminine name with vintage appeal, Pauline just hasn't been able to maintain its attention. The last time it had any significant showing on baby naming charts was back in 1997. 

Leslie 

Leslie, a gender-neutral name, has seen a steady decline in use over the past few years, especially for boys.  

Tina 

Tina, often a nickname for Christina or Martina, hasn't seen much popularity in the modern naming world.  

Bertha 

Despite its name having Germanic roots that means "bright" or "famous", Bertha is a name that feels distinctly old-fashioned.
