Classic Eccentric Names

Classic Eccentric Names

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.
