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.

      True. Evelyne Brochu is my age.

      Gilgamesh is one I haven’t heard in a hot minute, not sure about the comeback though.

      Not with that attitude lol. Maybe we can ease it back in as a middle name or something.
