By old-timey names, I mean ones that you don’t typically associate with anyone alive or younger than like 70.
Examples being:
- Burl
- Mildred
- Herbert
- Agnes
- Evelyn (not as rare at the others, but getting there)
I’ve always liked the name “Opal” but I’ve only ever known two in my life. I was like 10-12 at the time, and they were both pushing 90.
Gertrude…who goes by Gertie
Not surprised to see nobody recommended bringing back Wilfred
Knew a Wilf once and he was a complete dickhead
Named my daughter Evelyn last year. I’m doing my part.
Ebenezer, or Eben for short
