Some names sound out-dated nowadays: in France, names like Thierry, Marcel or even Cedric can tell to what generation you belong.

And, then, there are names who can tell that you died in the last century. You can't name your kid "Edgar" or "Alphonse" anymore: it sounds quite... er, 1920?

Even Mike Myers couldn't make Wayne cool, and I have no idea what went though Mr & Mrs Kerr's mind when they named their son.
