Grandpa Names (poll)

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 boys, 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

It’s the literary connections that endear me to a lot of these - [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] and [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] from the Importance of Being Earnest; [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] Wilde’s son [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u] (Vivian); [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] Waugh; [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] Jeeves from P.G. Woodhouse’s books; E.M. Forster’s Maurice… can’t help but love them!
