Sorry if my post made it sound as though I was knocking people in the 40s. I'm less than 10 years away from that mark myself, so I'd better not knock it 'cause in the blink of an eye, that's what I'll be!
I guess what I meant to say is that when I was a child, this always seemed to be the names of people aunts, and never anyone my age. Thus I only have one mental image springs to mind whe I hear it. Eugenia/ie probably ought to have the same association for me, except I never meant any, and I think the word
Eugene/
Eugenie/
Eugenia is so interesting.
Hope that makes sense. :p
