It's interesting to see what 70 odd years did to the baby naming tradition.....have a look at what was popular back in 1941.
 
The boys ...
  1. James
  2. Robert
  3. John
  4. William
  5. Richard
  6. Charles
  7. David
  8. Thomas
  9. Donald
  10. Ronald
Most of these names sound reasonably familiar, right? Apparently strong, classic and traditional boys names are still popular for baby boys. (OK maybe not Donald and Ronald).
 
And the girls ...
  1. Mary
  2. Barbara
  3. Patricia
  4. Judith
  5. Betty
  6. Carol
  7. Nancy
  8. Linda
  9. Shirley
  10. Sandra
On the other hand ... it's less likely to hear a baby girl with these names today.
