The popularity of Elizabeth as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at son Brent.



Brent debuted in the depths of the Great Depression and quickly shot up into the top half of the chart.  From this point, he made a gradual ascent into the top 100, where he spent 18 years (1969-86), peaking at #71 in 1971.  He quickly fell out of favor in the 21st century and dropped off the chart after 2016.
