Are These Once-Popular Baby Girls Names Poised to Make a Comeback?
The baby-naming trend of finding "older" sounding names in the family tree is a strong tradition. But how old is too old for a newborn's name? According to Ancestry, these ten once very popular (but now almost non-existent) names could be poised to make a comeback for girls:
- Bertha
- Florence
- Gladys
- Edna
- Mildred
- Ida
- Dorothy
- Tammy
- Ethel
- Betty
While I reserve judgment on most of these, I'd rule out Edna first. My first - admittingly immature - instinct will always associate the name Edna with the deceased Aunt Edna strapped to the the top of the family truckster in National Lampoon's Vacation. I also don't believe I could name my baby girl 'Bertha' either. I golf with Big Bertha clubs.
It also appears not everyone is on board with the classic names:

And you're probably right. But which vehicles on the road today are causing drivers to take the most risks?
A BestLife story breaks looks at a study from North Bay Legal and Insurify to pinpoint exactly which vehicles are being piloted by the most reckless drivers, according to figures from the National Highway Safety Administration.
