babynamesWhat’s the most “old person” name you can think of? A name that you cannot imagine on a little baby or a child, but is great/fitting on an adult or senior.
What’s the most “young person” name you can think of? Something that would be great/cute for a kid until about young adulthood, but you can’t imagine a grown man or woman with that name.
Try to think of at least one boy name and one girl name for each question, but you can list as many as you want. You don't have to LIKE the names you list.

Date: 2006-07-20 08:28 pm (UTC)I guess at least it made it into the first and not the second part. Eventually I'll be old, but I'll never be a trendy-named little girl again. Haha.
