Named my daughter Evelyn last year. I'm doing my part.
Thaddeus, Ulysses, etc. I liked that people used to name their kids after figures of the ancient world.
I must be in a weird spot because I know 3 different Evelyns under the age of 8.
Yeah, I noted that one as the oddball. Based on replies here, it's definitely a regional difference. In my area, it's all but extinct under the age of 60.
It's definitely just those kids and super old folks, I don't really know any in-between
Thurl (as in Ravenscroft.)
I've always liked the name Ruben for some reason and only ever known one that I can recall (whose brother was called Robin).
I also am partial to Ezekiel and they can have Zeke as a nickname which I think sounds pretty rad.
I've always liked the old anglo saxon names like:
- Aethelweard
- Aethelwulf
- Aelfwynn
- Aethelflaed
We just get stuck with plain ol Ethel and Alf.
Wuduweard
Vivien / Vyvien
Modern version would be Vyvyyn.
My friend has little sons named Ray, Malcolm and Ernie. It suits them immensely to have these old man names and they are so adorable.

And Kingdom.
And Brunel.
And My Axe.
And my S-Axe!
