Dennis - not overly fond, but its my dad's name, so I'd feel like a traitor deleting it :) besides, maybe it'll sneak it's way into my (nonexistant) son's name someday...
Ezekiel - kinda .. I like the nn Zeke.

It's interesting how some of these so-called old-fashioned names have back into fashion in the last few years, whereas some of the others hardly anyone would dare touch. Edith, Thelma and Wilma, for instance. Also interesting that the trend hasn't really happened with boys names in the same way, except for Spencer and a couple others.
