The TV show Mad Men, set in JFK-era New York, got all the period details right, including the names.
 
Many of the key characters were born in the 1920s and ‘30s, which, according to the 100-Year-Rule, makes their names ready for revival. Among the names already on their way up the charts are Clara and Jane, Harry and Lane. The children on Mad Men were born in the 1950s and ‘60s, making their names — including Sally, Bobby, Gene, Glen, and Tammy — today’s grandparent names.
 
Are parents ready to adopt some of the show's quainter monikers as baby names? Maybe not quite yet, but don't be surprised if you have grandchildren named Don and Betty.
