I just can't!

I like most "old" names that are coming back into popularity. This isn't one I am fond of, it sounds kind of harsh to me.

NO please NO

I think of an old lady with blue hair. It just sounds old to  me, not classy and old-fashioned.

This was my grandmother's name.  I was named after her.  Thank goodness the Jewish tradition only requires the first letter be the same because I would not want this as my name.  It's way too old lady for me.

The name immediately makes me think of Laverne and Shirley! Am I dating myself?

That's what I thought of, too.

I say no to the name.

I guess I'm in the minority here because I actually don't mind Laverne...but then again, I also don't mind Shirley.

Laverne reminds me of a toned down version of Lavender (which is awesome IMO).

I love old lady chic, but I'm not on board with Laverne yet. I also can't get past Laverne and Shirley. It's the only time I've ever heard the name. Never IRL.

Fine as a middle name.

As a first name, I downright despise it. Some old names (and my daughter even has one!) should just not make a comeback!

And Shirley?

Sorry first thing that popped into my head, used to be on Nick at Nite ! Anyway no kids these days would even think twice about that but still just really really NMS! The "verne" part just makes it sound so bleh... = sorry.

Sorry, not a fan.  Seems very old-fashioned.

Lol, thanks for the input, guys.
In an attempt to tame my baby rabies, DH agreed to going ahead with finding names for a future son or daughter.
Laverne is my MIL's middle name, and I want to honor her by possibly using either her first or middle name for our next daughter.

So that's a no from me.
