HelpRe: Unusual or beautiful sightings from your family tree?
in reply to a message by Higuma
I always think your family's names are so interesting when you post about them! I can maybe see why those would be old-fashioned (they vaguely remind me of Milton / Melvin, Eustace / Eunice, plus pant* is unusual) but Melitón still seems more dashing than Milton. :)
I know it's because I'm just not familiar with them, but I notice that when people from other language/cultural backgrounds use names that seem out-of-date to me in English, it makes me see them in a new light.

Thank you! I do too ☺️
It's interesting to note that most of these are still being used in Latin America. They have a different concept of 'old-fahioned' lol
I know what you mean, I'm also guilty of falling in love with names that are way overused in other cultures :p
