 or Gladys
my grandmother's name was Myrtice, I wonder how a teenager named Myrtice in 2009 would feel about her name "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

ha My ex husband's sister's name is Melva and she's just turned 20. In her defense though, she's named after her grandmother.
I don't know what's more annoying, young people with old names or old people with young names. I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life. | |

ZombieKitten said: NDRU said: true, I know kids named Cole, Finn, Emma, Emily, even a Vladamir! I know a 7 year old called Boris I always wanted to name a large dog Boris. It would be a great name for a St Bernard or even a large white standard poodle. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

violator said: Met an absolutely gorgeous Brit this past summer named Mildred. I thought, 'Why?'.
I have a niece called Gabriella... I guess that constitutes an old name another niece is named Oriana not old or classic as far as I know but mighty pretty... I do have a friend thats 21 called Rosemary... is that name old enough? lol [Edited 10/27/09 10:03am] JaneyPoos used to be it... then they changed what it was. Now what I am isn't it and what is it is strange and frightening to me...

Irene
My Mom named me after herself, and she was named after her grandmother...yeah. I know a six year old girl named Irene and a seven year old girl named Susan. Both children have parents that are imigrants from Africa, I think Kenya to be specific. Maybe in Africa those names are modern.

A lot of trendy hipster types around these parts are giving their brand new babies grandma and grandpa names. Lots of adorable little Hazels and Walters running around certain neighbourhoods in Vancouver.
Native folks have always used a lot of old fashioned names. I guess they never went out of vogue in rez communities. I know some people my age with names like Randal, Harold, and Mabel. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Nikademus said: ZombieKitten said: Nikademus sounds rather an olden days name like Nostradamus or Erasmus  Actually, Nikademus was the bad guy from the old Phantasie computer games from the 80's And Nicodemus was the wise old (magic?) rat in The Secret of N.I.M.H "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Evvy said: I love old names like Helena and Madison- love it love it love it!!!!
now if you go the Velma and Viola route- I cant go with ya..... ..but it seems like its a challenge to find "old" boys names- they are all still being used..  Madison's not an old name, at least not for girls. It's a very old boys' name and only recently came into style for girls. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
