Gertrude

May be in the U.S., yes. They are still very common names among french speakers

Beatrice. I know a girl named that. I literally could smack her momma for that

What's wront with Beatrice?

Juanita

I know 2 Juanita's. Both under 12 years old. It's a spanish name. Nowadays people in america look down upon spanish speakers and cultures so i would assume a decrease in using spanish name is to be expected

Homer

I never knew people actually named their kids that THought it was just the Simpsons character

my next door neighbour daughter is named beatrice

Im still struggling to figure out what is wrong with Beatrice. Granted, ive never liked the way it is pronounced in english but still

Garfield

I never knew people actually named their kids that THought it was just a cartoon

Eunice

I once had a crush on a girl named Eunice in middle school back in Haiti Just found her on facebook last week. She still fine as fukk

Betty

Yeah not sure why Betty's stock went south the way it has. Have a cousin named Betty

Leon

My Grandad's name. Still common among french speakers. Didnt know English speakers used it

Louis
Louise

Still common among french speakers. Didnt know English speakers used it much. I thought English speakins spelled theirs "Lewis"

I haven't heard many Spanish folks using this name in a minute .... maybe it's making a comeback.... but being named little Juan/John must suck as a girl...

The Juanitas I know dont live in the United States.

And i dont think it means little Juan at all. Sure spanish people tend to use "ito" or "ita" to express "little" but i doubt it's the same in this case. Perhaps some of the latinos here could explain.
