The popularity of Janet is graphed here.  Let's take a look at Ida


It was all downhill for Ida in the 20th century.  She peaked at #30 in 1900 and spent the next 30 years in the top 100.  Her decline accelerated during the 1960s.  She hit her sweet spot in the 1880s when she was the 7th most popular girl's name of the decade.  Although Anna, Emma, Elizabeth, and Margaret are still around, and even  Clara is making a comeback, Ida and her BFF Bertha are still 'old lady' names.
