What are some old-timey names that you think should make a comeback?
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 also hope somewhere in the world there's a gay couple named Jack and Dick.

I know a few Jacks (and a Jaques and 2 Jacobs) and, according to that wiki page, my experience is typical.
