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 saw Jack, and I thought that’s pretty common, then realized I’ve never met a single Jack.

    I also hope somewhere in the world there’s a gay couple named Jack and Dick.
