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.

May and June. I feel like there's a lot of younger Aprils but the other two month names seem like old lady names.
Can confirm. I know several Aprils my age or younger, but no Mays at all, and no Junes younger than 70.
Went to university with a lady named (I kid you not): April May June
According to her, her parents thought it would be "fun".
I would guess she is about 50-60 years old now.
There was a joke on Married with Children way back where Bud gets a Valentine's day card from someone with that name. He is suspicious it's a prank from his sister because "those are all works [Kelly] knows".
Wonder if she was named after that episode? Lol
I used to know a woman named April, and her two daughters are May and June. (Both still under age 12.)
