I was reading "Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana" and found a list of names that are defined as 'so far out, they will always be out', and I was wondering if any of the names appealed to anyone here!


Girls
Bertha
Beulah
Doris
Ethel
Eunice
Gertrude
Gladys
Hester
Hortense
Irma
Mildred
Myrna
Selma
Shirley
Themla
Velma
Verda
Wanda

Boys
Adolph
Alvin
Arnold
Bernard
Bertram
Burton
Earl
Edgar
Edwin
Elmer
Franklin
Herbert
Herman
Huburt
Hyman (yikes!)
Irving
Julius
Leon
Lester
Marvin
Maurice
Melvin
Mervyn
Milton
Mortimer
Myron
Osbert
Oswald
Rudolph
Seymour
Sheldon
Sherman
Stanley
Wilbur
Wilfred


If you had to use one of these for each gender, which would you use? For girls, I'd probably use Selma, and for boys, probably Mortimer (I actually like that name!)

My great-grandfather's name was Huburt. I actually don't mind Mildred, and I love Velma and Myron - I think I'd consider using Myron to be honest.

I despise the name Sheldon with all my being, though.
