To me, this is one of those names of yesteryear that should remain in yesteryear. I find nothing about it endearing, except maybe the vision of a sweet old grandma.
A few years ago the Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser characters on "Mad About You" named their TV daughter this, and I thought it was just awful. I feared this would propel the name to newfound popularity. So far it hasn't, but with names like Hazel being revived, you never know.
