What First-Name Sounds Like It Probably Belongs To An Elderly Person? |
|
You know... Gladys, Erma, and Preston... "old-fashioned" names that most new parents aren't using any more.

21. Violet's on a comeback. |
|
I've met two little girls under the age of five w/ that name in the past year.
I can't stand the name Stanley, for personal reasons.

45. It is a pretty, old-fashioned name. |
|
And them naming their daughter that will probably help but there was already a ressurection of old names before them.

126. My SO and I have found out that all Ralphs are Ralph Jrs |
|
Whenever we meet another Ralph, we ask "was your dad Ralph?" 100%
My SO's mom named him without consulting his father, who said later "I NEVER would want to subject anyone to being called Ralph"
But he's an actor, and it gives him kind of a unique branding. Plus he's a big Teamster-looking guy, so the name fits

the ones who say, at top volume, "what did he say??" through the whole show?

There were several of them at my college. It was a more common name than a lot of names that I think of as common for people my age.
