Many people
prefer names that are unusual, but not made-up. These names were used
in previous generations, and may be considered "cutting-edge" in some
circles. However, they're probably considered "stuffy" and "old Fashioned"
in other circles. These names have their place in history, but their place
may be frozen in time at that historical moment, as none of these names
are used very much today, or have been for a few generations. Are these
names ready for a comeback? You decide. Many formerly-stuffy sounding
names are all the rage now. Consider Hannah. Hannah is in the top 5 right
now in the USA. 15 years ago, it sounded as stuffy as Myrtle or Irwin
do today.
