Old people names...

i looooooove old names
my guitar's name is beatrice, made as a joke but it stuck
so many of the names in this thread are freaking fantastic
i wish i had a better name, jessie's lame..my dad whated to name me wanita
and we'd always over pronounce it, whhhanita
damn...

 

i love that name

 

hahah family guy is the best!

 

My Grandfather's name was Cornelius-now that's a really old name. They called him "Pete" for short. I mean, what are they gonna call him as a nickname-Corny?

And my mother's name is Dorothy-not too many girls get that name any more.

I had an uncle named Bellamah Bellamah Bellamah. They called him "Uncle BB". I think that's just a little too much....

 

My other Grandfather's name was Ayoup Sliman (Jacob Solomon)-first and middle name-no,we're not Jewish-Lebanese Maronite Christian, actually. And the other grandmother was named Julia-all pretty old-fashioned names.

And mine is Michael (everybody calls me Mike except my parents). It's the kind of name that never seems to go out of style. And it's what I named my son, because my ex wanted it that way. I like the name, actually. It's Hebrew for "who is like God?" Well, certainly not me, but it's a nice thought anyway...

 

YES!!!! NOBODY HAS SAID IT YET!!!

MILDRED!!!!

Sorry....

I really thought someone would've said that by now so I got a little excited when I could be the first.

 

I always liked Millicent. And Bette (pronounced Bet) Lee.

 

my grandma's name is Dorthy and she's young at heart and looks very young. My maternal family has very good genes...my great-grandma lived to 106 and was active and healthy

 

one of my schoolmates was named Cornelius
but, he always went by Spike It suited him waaaaaaaay better

 

Let's see...Yesterday I changed adult diapers on Agatha (Aggie)...Effie..Ellie..Pauline..Minnie...Margarette..Betty..Eleanor..Leona...& My favorite name in the bunch...Verda.
