The Olde Girls
This list is the same concept as the Olde Boys list, but it will be considerably shorter as it is more fashionable for a girl to have an old lady name than a boy to have an old man name. Don’t know why, but I do know teenage boys and they can get quite creative if your son is named Dick. Once again, these aren’t bad names and I like most of them, but they just don’t fit the times.

I love all of these names as a name nerd, but as a mother and regular person, I advise against them. Some of them may be suitable for middle names, but most are just old-lady-ish and not right for the century.
