Even before my time, women had some pretty unspectacular names, such as: Maud Phoebe Bessie Agnes Hortense Irma Tessie And others...please continue! Hal
I like Polly..too . I suppose however names are subjective in their 'moderness'... if you haven't heard a name since you were a child, you may think it dull... yet 200 miles away it's in popular usage.. I have/had many aunts , uncles and cousins..... and some have boring names some a little unusual...and some Dull ( to me)..but maybe not to other... I'm not keen on Ida, or Edie .. ( 2 of of my aunties names) yet someone else might think they're fab names... I don't like my own name... but that's always been the same since I was a child....
You have a point Hal. Versa Crystal was my grandmother. b. 1888 Alida Crystal is my granddaughter. b. 1990 My daughter named my granddaughter with out knowing Crystal was my grandmother's middle name.
I think your grand-daughters' name is beautiful and how amazing that your daughter would name her child after her great grandma without previously knowing her name...
Violet was my moms first name... so sweet.. her dad named her after the woman he was running around with while married to my grand ma ! NOT...lolo
