Names have followed trends (of a sort) for many decades now. Prudence 
and Gladys *were* popular names many decades ago but were long ago 
superseded by others. I still remember when nearly every female being 
born was named Tiffany, Crystal or (I've forgotten the third of the Big 
Three) back in the late 80s/early 90s. I put that 80s trend down to 
people naming their girls after popular TV characters of the time. Older 
naming trends are probably more down to people being named after popular 
book characters, back in the days when a lot more people read and TV 
wasn't yet in existence.
