Some WTF, some interesting
Greta Evergreen

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 Italy
Gower (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!

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 Agree it’s outdated though.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.

It's too close in look and sound to glower and dour and sour. Probably that's why it never got much use.
