How about Wanda. I had an aunt Wanda. She was kinda mean, but she had a lot of boyfriends.

Ming the Merciless.
I would say Marceline, but adventure Time kind of kicked that overdue revival into high gear.
The only Marceline I've ever heard of is Marceline Hugot. She played Kathy Geiss on 30 Rock. Yes, this is the second 30 Rock reference I've made in this post lol

My twelve year old is Evelyn. My 14 year old is Genevieve. Which is apparently still out there but I thought it was pretty uncommon when we named her.

Every time I hear "Verna" I think of Jenna's mom on 30 Rock played to perfection by the late Jan Hooks.

I like that one. I think I just like names that are also minerals.
I want people to go by their first two initials, and then the entire last name. Y'know, "H. G. Wells, J.G. Wentworth".
It just makes everyone sound more fancy and serious.
I have 2 first names and I prefer to go by their initials. I’m so used to it that I sometimes don’t notice when someone calls me by my actual first name.

My boss does that, and for that reason. I do like it. Unfortunately, he cannot help me get cash now from my structured settlement.

Évelyne is faily common around here still.
Gilgamesh is one I haven't heard in a hot minute, not sure about the comeback though.
True. Evelyne Brochu is my age.
Gilgamesh is one I haven't heard in a hot minute, not sure about the comeback though.
Not with that attitude lol. Maybe we can ease it back in as a middle name or something.

I have a relative named Agnes in her early twenties. Don't do it. I find the Texas A&M jokes to be unbearable and I'm sure I hear less than 10% of what she hears
Mildred, Evelyn, Opal all names of my aunts +3 generations older than mine. Also try Betty as a diminutive for Elizabeth, Gerald, Hank, Errol, Mabel, Jerome, and Cordelia. These all scream white Midwestern US farmer to me.
Errol is most likely to have gotten into a bit of trouble and really seen the world when he was drafted for WWII.
