Hey /int/. Lately I've been thinking about names in other countries. Specifically, what are the old, outdated names of other countries?

Like, what are some of the names in your country that make you think, "this person was probably born a while ago"?

In the USA, some of these names for women might be: Ethel, Mabel, Louise, Rosemarie, Evelyn, Agatha, Agnes, etc.

For USA men: Louis, Alfred, Oscar, Abe, Larry, etc.

Most people associate that name with Oscar the Grouch or Oscar from Hey Arnold. I've never met any Oscars IRL. You may as well wonder when's the last Grover you met.

true. now that i think about it "oscar" is sort of common among hispanics. i think it's a shit tier name though...it's an ugly-sounding word, and it just reminds me of oscar the grouch

I thought Oscar was mostly a Scandinavian or Eastern European name.

https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-abigail-15.htm

According to this, Abigail wasn't even a popular name at the start of the 20th century. It was regarded as ancient and stuffy at that time, but suddenly blossomed in popularity in the 90s.

Also I did happen to know an Abigail who was born in the Clinton years, so...

depends on the class of people, those are typical "lads" names

if you're asking about upper middle class or higher they'll all be called Harry, William, George, Charles, Jacob, Benjamin and things like that

Baby boomer names are stuff like Linda, Barbara, Beverly, Patricia, Susan, Rhonda, Alan, Steve, and Jerry.

Gen Xer names are stuff like Jennifer, Robin, Kimberly, Heather, Melissa, Michelle, Scott, Brad, and Jason

Millenial names are stuff like Jessica, Ashley, Stacey, Lindsay, Zach, Ryan, Brandon, and Derek
>>
>>72347818
>Ryan

that's me
>>
>>72347187
Unless in Russia where they never change names.
>>
>>72347818
>Jessica
I've never met a Jessica that wasn't born in the 80s. I guess that's borderline millenial by some counts but there's a definite difference in names between 80s kids and later 90s/00s kids.


Also fucking Ava, Aidan/kayden/jayden/brayden and so on fucking retarded names that are suddenly extremely common
>>
>>72347818
>Baby boomer names are stuff like Linda, Barbara, Beverly, Patricia, Susan, Rhonda, Alan, Steve, and Jerry.

Nancy. There are no Nancys born after the 50s.
>>
>>72348050
I was born in 88 and I never remember having a Jessica for a classmate although there were millions of Ashleys and Zachs.
>>
>>72348050
Late 90s is when you start seeing names like Abigail, Sophia, and Emma become popular.
>>
Colombian here, I haven't hear people call somebody Theodore lately, is a rare name or just outdated?

Also, let's add some of our names to that list

Margarita, Josefina, Gregorio, Leonardo, Wenceslao and Abelardo
>>
>>72348249
It's outdated for the most part which is a shame because I kinda like the name.
>>
I knew an Adrian who was born in 92. Her mother was born in the early 70s (I think) and was named Kimberly. Her grandmother was born in 1951 and was named Carolyn (shoulda mentioned that was also a common boomer name). Her great grandmother was an Elsie, who was born in 1914 and lived to 99 (!). They all lived up to the stereotypes of their respective generations so much that it was hilarious.

It's kind of like how early Gen Xers (the ones born in the 60s) had names like Christine and Lisa, while the later ones born in the 70s constituted all the Kimberlys and Jennifers.

I didn't know any women were like that.

Her ggrandmother was a pretty bad influence, but it's mostly because she went to a high school that was 80% ghetto nigs and...that would turn anyone into a raging Stormfag.
>>
Slavic names, lol. And Greek names are limited to ones that nobility used to chose. They preferred more simple things than merchants and peasants.
>>
I don't know in Portugal, because I've heard they have actual laws preventing people to name their babies with un-portuguese names (at least AFAIK).

Here there's differentiation only from upper to lower classes. Traditional names for the upper, João, José, Pedro, Maria, Antônia, Regina, etc , regular ones.

Lower classes (or retarded people) name Jonatas (sic), Diarley, Lincon (sic), Maxsuel (sic), and other bizarre names you'll find for men if you google some football players here. For women they can get weirder, like Sheilla (sic), Sirlane, Claudete, Xaiane, and so on.

Actual old names are from dead people or people over 80 years old common, like Atanásio, Dilermano, Teobaldo, Eurípedes, Germano, etc for men, and Alzira, Elvira, Mercedes, Mafalda and etc for women. When there's someone actual named like that, they get more jokes than the lower class ones...
>>
Female names change style more often than male names, but still, there are those names like Steve, Brad, and Zach that are really linked with one particular generation.
>>
>>72347185
Neville sounds pretty cool. If I ever find myself moving to the Anglo-sphere and having a family I might consider that name.
>>
Hazel has started to become popular since 2010 after having not been seen at all since Coolidge was president.
>>
Why are portuguese names so fucking disgusting?
>>
>>72348589
Russian also have the unique quirk of putting an -a suffix on women's surnames, thus Popov/Popova, Konev/Koneva, Zhirinovsky/Zhirinovskaya, etc.
>>
>>72348709
There was someone called Neville Neville
>>
>>72346676
Jean was sometimes used as a first name, but more often a middle name like Barbara Jean. This was very common among white trash women who grew up in the 50s and had a living room decorated with tacky Elvis memorabilia.

A lot of names stay popular for a few decades, for instance Bill and Jim were very common male names from the 1920s through the 50s but died out afterwards and have never come back. Jim is one of those consummate old guy names.

>>72347818
Kelly. That's another very common Millenial name.

Even your big English proper names like Edward, Robert, George, Thomas, Benjamin, William and so on are starting to sound gentrified. I agree with what that anon said about Mildred, it sounds awful and I don't see it coming back. A name like Abigail sounds alright, especially when compared to old woman names like Ethel or Mildred.
>>
Leonard. Is there a single one born after the 1940s?
>>
>>72348902
It's not a "unique quirk", Slavic languages have got genders.

>>72349689
Abigail's diminutive is "Abby" which doesn't sound too bad. Mildred's diminutive is "Milly" which sounds really bad.

George has not been popular for a while now. Ed may have fallen out of favor but Edward as a full name sounds like it would still be popular. There are still tons of Williams.

Back in the 19th century, people liked to name kids after presidents. For example, I had an ancestor whose first and middle name were James Garfield. But this trend largely died out after the 1920s.

Michel, Jean, Pierre, Charles, Gérard, Jacques, Roger, Frédérique, Paul.
Basically traditionnal french names which are fucking common and accepted on foreign countries, if you has those names here, you will be mocked.

to be "cool" you need to have an anglo name like kévin, brandon, killian, dylan.
or if not some shit without identity and overused like Sébastien, Maxime, Clément, Mathieu, Thomas, Valentin, Alexandre.

I always thought that this whole facelifting shit is twofold. They want to look younger yet they don't want anyone to think that they are just old bitches trying to look younger. Basically there is no way to achieve that, short of actually magically becoming young again. But that doesn't stop them. Hmm.
And men do that too. We have an old dude at work who looks like he is fucking 70. And not a single gray hair. Thats just looks unnatural.

Really? In Croatia they're pretty common.
The most common by far is probably Filip (basically Philip) for some reason. Luka is pretty popular

I think that names that end with -ko aren't that popular. Like Darko, Slavko, Jerko (kek).
Though, Marko is pretty popular

Croatian names are pretty southern European tier, but with a Slavic spin.

Some names that are 'international' that are nowadays pretty common here: Lara, Mia, Lea, Hana, Tina, Ines, Ana, Ema, David, Karlo, Leon, Jakov, Antonio, Mateo, Sven, Nikola (surprisingly a male name)

Hunter is a fairly common English name, other Euros definitely used "Hunter" in their own language, maybe it's not common now but it was definitely used. If Americans use it, it's because the usage derives from hundreds of years ago, before they existed. We definitely use it here in Aus.

Gisela, been a while since I heard anyone nominated “Rhonda”,
Henrik.
Sadly in here, some parents can't stop
>muh native irish heritage
from getting in the way of seeing sense and nominate them something gaelic, even if the name doesn't have its origin in Ireland like “Mícheál”.

>I hear that in Poland, only old guys have -slaw names like Wladislaw, Stanislaw, etc.
no, quite a favor for names from Latin, like “Mariusz”, “Janusz”, “Dariusz”

In Germany you can often tell the age of someone just by seeing the name without seeing the person

really old: Heinrich, Wilhelm, Günther, Dietrich etc
old: Dieter, Peter, Jürgen, Uwe, Klaus etc
mid-age: Stefan, Christian, Ralf etc
young: Sebastian, Philipp, Alexander etc
very young: Kevin, Justin, Jerome-Leroy, Jaden-Dylan, Etienne-Mohammed etc

My name will probably be so after the inevitable crash.
It doesn't feel so good to be born at the height of "Alexander" popularity. It's strangely both a name that sounds very antiquated (like my brother, "Nathaniel") but is very popular recently. My brother was born on the first "Nathaniel" plateau and that name is falling in popularity fast.

Wikipedia says it a German version of John-Jean-Jonas-Ivan-Evan series. Is that accurate?

It's short for Johannes which is the same as the names mentioned by you, eventually it became a name on its own, now it is outdated.

Ah, interesting. John has collapsed over the last few hundred years. I wonder how prevalent that trend is in other countries.

Nestor, Flor, Arkadiy, Evlampiy are easy examples of 19th century-tier male names.

Dusya, Galina for females.

I have a guy, who's name is Vol'ga in the University.

Literally the first time I've encountered that name like ever.

Have in mind, that my name is Gleb, which is already a rare one. Westerners have trouble pronouncing it for some reason.

>>72353837
My name is Johannes. At home they call me Hannes or Hansä (Bavarian version of Hans)
>>
>>72353979
How outdated is Siegfried?

Can right-leaning parents be spotted, when their kid has an excessively German name?
>>

T. Gleb the pleb

>>72354139
really old

the funny thing is people who may be considered right wing, often in the east, give their kids stupid ass anglo names, while more educated people who are heavily leftist use more traditional names

It's a heavily changed Scandi name.

The counterpart would be Gudleif in Norway/Sweden.

Essentially is the same name.
