Old People's Names

A lot of the names peoples my age has, ain't being used no more. Boys was named: Cecil, Eugene, Randolph, Leon, Leonard, and of course Harvey. Girls was even worse with names like: Mildred, Hazel, Pearl, Opal, Laverne, Beulah, Dorcas, Hortense, and of course Dorothy. My name come from a old uncle on my mama's side name of Lee Harvey Thompson. He were from Selma, Alabama. Dorothy's name come from the Wizard of Oz in the person of Dorothy Gale played by Judy Garland. For that reason Dorothy have always been proud of her name. You ought to hear her sing "Over the Rainbow." It would be nice if some of these new mamas and daddies would pick some of them old names, just so ever body wouldn't be named Brittany and Sean.
