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.
Ruth. You rarely meet Ruths these days.
My cousin named her daughter Ruth (or maybe it’s her middle name?) but wither way they call her Ruthie lol
