HelpRe: Dated names
in reply to a message by Ottilie
In which way do you consider your names dated? Some of them seem grandma-ish but others are more 80s? Or have I just answered my own question?
I like... (from my PNL and I wouldn't necessarily use all of these)
Esther
Gertrude - but obviously I wouldn't use it on an actual child
Helen
June
Maude
Nell
Rosamund
Vera
Albert
Edmund
Harold
Malcolm

Haha, yes, dated in both of those ways. Gertrude and Maude are both family names for me and I am therefore quite fond of them. I love Rosamund, too! And Esther, Nell and June are pretty lovely, though the latter is unusable for me. I'm fond of all of the boys' names you mentioned, too, apart from Malcolm.
