Some WTF, some interesting Greta Evergreen
Quimby AstoriaGeraldine- the comment
I’d say Geraldine is significantly worse than Myrtle and Bertha lmao. Like you smashed Gerald and sardine together. Abysmal 🤢🤣March Madsen (fn/in combo) - age was worried it was too close to March Madness Ludovica - apparently popular in ItalyGower (m)Clairvoyance- someone changed their name to this

I like Greta and Astoria. Not fond of the middle name Evergreen, and I don't like Quimby. Astoria would have been a better first name.
I love Geraldine and Ludovica!
March Madness 💀🤣Can't lie, that is what I immediately thought of!
I like Greta, Astoria, and Geraldine. Quimby is very Beverly Cleary.
I love Greta and I also like Astoria, but as a g.p, book character type. Really don't care for the others.
The only name I like is Greta, lots of strange names there especially clairvoyance
March Madsen and Gower are bizarre. In fairness to Geraldine, though, it’s pretty common for names to have that “-ine” ending. Agree it’s outdated though.
Fascinating how familiarity with one famous person can make a name seem normal instead of "bizarre."Gower seems perfectly normal to me (if rare) because I am old enough to be familiar with the choreographer Gower Champion, who was one of the best known Broadway performers during his lifetime. I was surprised to see when I looked him up that he's been dead since 1980.He pronounced Gower to rhyme with "power" or "flower", by the way. https://masterworksbroadway.com/artist/gower-champion/
It's too close in look and sound to glower and dour and sour. Probably that's why it never got much use.
