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.

    As a German I find Gretchen hilarious. Not a name you’d see in Germany despite its origins.

    My vote is on Brunhilde, my grandma’s name. It’s a name only 80+y olds would have, but I like it
