Really old-fashioned names

[starcrossed.livejournal.com]

I came across a 2nd grade girl at our school today called Eda (pronounced Ed-ah.) According to nymbler, Eda is:

A girl's name of English and Irish origin that is relatively unfamiliar today. Eda was most popular in 1916 and is currently not among the top 1000 U.S. girls' names. Meaning: English: rich gift.

WDYT? Personally it's too old-fashioned and a bit unfeminine for me.

What really old fashioned names (most popular in the 1910's - 1920's) do you like?

I'm kinda "meh" on Eda, mostly because it reminds me of "Edda". Nothing wrong with that... it's just not a particulary lovely connotation. It also reminds me of Edna, which I dislike.
