Grandma Names (poll)

Girl Names
1

I have a thing for old-person names, but the names I think are cute, most people think are still ugly old names that aren’t ready to come back until another generation. So I wanna know what y’all think. Are these names ready for the next generation of little girls, or do they need more time being dead? Vote for your faves in the first 3 polls, then vote for your least faves in the second 3

I went with my personal gut instinct in each of these polls, but actually I think the overwhelming majority of these names are appealing and usable.

Some, like [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f], actually feel pretty cool and on-trend right now.

The only one I’d say :raised_hand: Step Away :raised_hand: from is [name_f]Obedience[/name_f]. That is not a value I’d want to instill in a daughter, nor one I’d want projected outwards to the world as my own name.

Yea, I kinda got that memo after everyone very much disliked it in the poll lol. It’s great in theory, especially since I love virtue names, but realistically it’s not very great…
