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.
You definitely don’t see many people named Lance, but back in the day people were named Lancelot.
Lance Armstrong kinda killed it with all his cheating.
Lance Bass might not have done it many favors either.
