Fifi Leigh

I thought this video is interesting because she lists vintage names that are forgotten. I guess no one uses them anymore. They sound like old people names.
Pretoria—for a girl; I think it sounds like a pretty and girly name, like a petunia flower. This could work also for a feminine and soft girl, if you want something unique.
Redvers—for a boy, which would be interesting for a redhead boy, or it even sounds Ivy league and upper class. It could work out and be cool, if someone wanted a different name.
Horace—means hour in time. I was thinking it means “Eye of Horace.” This is a weird name. Horace sounds like “horse,” and some kids might call Horace a “horseface” as a joke.
Majorie—is an herb name; I have heard of Marjorie as a name, but not Majorie. It is different and interesting.
Edgar—means to be fortunate and powerful. Who would name their kid Edgar? It rhymes with vulgar. He would definitately have a nickname, such as Eddie.
Blanche—is French for pure and white. Yeah, Blanche looks like an old lady’s name for someone’s grandmother. I would assume that woman had a nickname as a kid. I think one of the Golden Girls characters was a Blanche, whether real name or character name.
Morris—means dark. Yeah, Morris is more common as a last name. But for the past decade, or even before, last names have become first names for many kids. I have also noticed many kids named Tyler, Taylor, Braden, Nelson, Kirk, etc…
Rhoda—means rose. Yeah, there was a old sitcom, during 60s called Rhoda.
Cissie—for a girl, like Cici; Cici is more common nowadays, especially on the internet, kind of like Fifi. But I remember a character on old sitcom, Family Affair, the teen girl’s name was Cissy.
Names can be very interesting. I am glad that I like mine.
