I don’t think of Eleanor as a particularly old lady name. I know a number of women with that name who were born in the 60s, so in their mid to late 50s now.

If I were having a daughter now, I would advocate for Martha, though I'm sure my husband would veto.

I really hate all of them. I think they're all outrageously ugly.

We chose this for our teenage daughter. I like that there are several nicknames.
