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 know a couple younger dudes named Ira (35yo or less). Still sorta popular among Jewish circles, and not even both of the Iras I know are of Jewish origin so it seems others still use it too.
