Old Timey Names

In searching for a name for a still-to-be-born child, I was desperately seeking an appropriate old-timey name. What is wrong with a good, solid name like Mortimer? It has passed the test of centuries and been shown to be of the highest caliber. Much like the name Archibald. When you are tired of saying Archibald, you could say Archie. What a fine name/nickname.
According to crimezzz.com, only one serial murderer has been named Archbald (and that was a middle name). It would seem to me that people named Archibald are more likely to be law-abiding and therefore better people.

  1. Paul said that he doubts if there ever was someone named Archibald or Mortimer. Not enough to use them as guide to determine there worth while in nameing a child, that our daughter gives birth to.
