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.

    I’ve always liked the old anglo saxon names like:

    • Aethelweard
    • Aethelwulf
    • Aelfwynn
    • Aethelflaed

    We just get stuck with plain ol Ethel and Alf.
