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.

      My best friends kid is named Guinevere, is that archaic enough to fit?

        I’ve heard a Welsh musician called Gwennifer.
        I think Jennifer, Guinevere are all probably similar just different languages.
