I work in a nursing home and actually get a lot of the names I love from residents I have cared for. Example: I took care of a
Beatrice "
Bea",
Cora,
Viola,
Abbie, Nettie,and several Clara's...so I associate the names with the people (and the gray hair ect), but I still think they are lovely names. Most of these women are in their 90's btw...
H
Maybe they are so old they are cool again just because...who knows why I like some of the names over other names. I also care for several ladies named
Bessie,
Dora,
Gertrude,
Alice,
Helen, &
Florence... all around the same age as the other ladies, and I don't care for these names. I mean, how long has it been since
Bessie has been used...and it's not new and fresh yet!! LOL
