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)

Have you heard the phrase “Do you want to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows what’s going on?”?
That woman was Edna.
