At my job yesterday, I was looking through a bunch of envelopes/addresses of some college graduates--most of them elderly. And I found some interesting old-fashioned (sort of) names I've never heard before, and thought I would share, and see what you think.

Zoetta
Loa
Elverne
Lanora (I've seen Leonora and Lenora, but never Lanora)
Colborn
Britta
Verna
Lynford
Edice
Jolane
Joretta

Then, I also saw a woman, whose first and last name is: Chick Beach. I almost cracked up laughing at work when I first saw that.

I also remembered a boy that I went to school with, though he was younger than me, that is named Coleman. I thought that was kind of strange (it sounds more like a last name to me), but it was #613 last year according to the Social Security Online website. I wondered if maybe his mom's maiden name was Coleman or something and that's why he was named that.

Anyhow, just thought I would share.

Zoetta was the first one I saw and it surprised me when I saw it. I was like, "Oh... Huh. Well, alright then." Haha.l

It's definitely not something I've ever heard, but I think it's pretty.

I just wish I knew what it meant. I can't seem to find it online.

My guess is that it is a form of the name Zoe (life)
