General Name Discussion

I was rifling through last [name]Sunday[/name]'s paper last night when I came to the obituary pages. Being the name nerd that I am, I decided to look through them to see what names were there. I made a list of names that stuck out to me for one reason or another.

[name]Darwin[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Leona[/name]
[name]Clifford[/name] (x2)
[name]George[/name]
[name]Dolores[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Smith[/name] (M, first name)
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]George[/name] [name]Francis[/name]
[name]Marshall[/name]
[name]Millie[/name]
[name]Basil[/name] Strat (M)
[name]Frances[/name]

[name]Susette[/name]
[name]Goldie[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Marjorie[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] (x2)

I also found the obituary pages from Sept. 5 in our magazine rack, so I wrote down some names from those too:

[name]Josette[/name]
[name]Frank[/name] (x4)

[name]Alvin[/name] [name]Myron[/name]
[name]Evie[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Minnie[/name]
[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Rae[/name]
[name]Vernon[/name] (Always makes me think of the uncle in [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name])
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Constantine[/name]

My favorites are [name]Solomon[/name], [name]Leona[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Eileen[/name] (my mom’s name), [name]Susette[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Josette[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]Laura[/name] (my name), [name]Violet[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Margaret[/name]. And though I don’t think I’d ever be brave (or cool) enough to use it, I like [name]Constantine[/name].

[name]Just[/name] thought I share these names with my fellow Berries. What do you think? [name]Do[/name] any of these make your lists?
