What are some old-timey names that you think should make a comeback?
What are some old-timey names that you think should make a comeback?
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.

Zebulon -- traditional Biblical name. Maybe still used in Israel, but not many Americans have used it since the days of Zebulon Pike (Pike's Peak) and Zebulon Vance (Civil War era NC governor).
He's teriyaki flavored!
I worked with a Zebulon (of course, we called him "Zeb") a couple years ago. He's in maybe his mid 20s now.
