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 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

Marceline Hugot as Kathy Geiss holding a Magnadoodle that says 'Kathy CEO'
