HelpRe: Thoughts on these old-fashioned names?
in reply to a message by Rainya
Charlene: This is my MIL's name, and I've always liked it; I like it much better than I like Charlotte. It's warmer and softer somehow, but also more down-to-earth.
Flora: It's kind of pretty.
Fredrick: This is my old teddy bear's name. Fred is kind of a friendly, gruff, favorite-uncle sort of name. (I don't have any uncle named Fred.)
Hubert: It's too comical for a real person.
Ida: Frumpy.
Twyla: Cheap, loud, redneck woman with not enough teeth and a dated frizzy pile of badly-dyed hair.
Viola: Ida's frumpy sister.
Wilbur: A pig's name.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Yeah, I’ve liked Charlene since I was really young and was surprised when I found out it was so unused today!
I don’t have an uncle named Fred either, but that analysis makes sense to me, haha.
