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.
Edna sounds like the Karen of the 20th century
Worse. Ednas were Karens that became managers. Even if they weren’t manangers…
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.
