What are some unusual vintage names?
Thanks!
A personal favourite of mine is [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] or [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f], which is vintage (Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] connection as well) but super quirky and a bit unusual.
I’m loving [name_f]Selma[/name_f] lately
I’ve got a distant cousin Vedna. I also had a great aunt [name_m]Vaughan[/name_m].
I’ve always liked [name_u]Gene[/name_u], [name_u]Dale[/name_u], and [name_f]Theda[/name_f], vintage actress names.
