I love old-fashioned names for boys and girls, but haven't quite found the right ones that DH will approve of. Any others want to share their faves?

Netitia. I read about a character in a book named this who went by Nettie (yes it was Needful Things and I don't care if she was a crazy murderess, she had a cool name!!).

Now that I've scared you off that one, how about Muriel? Always liked that one.
