Well my cousins wife picked the most old fashioned and horrible names for their girls....Annabelle, and Adeline...Annabelle is mildly okay is you take the Anna off and call her Bella or just call her Anna...but Annabelle? It reminds me of a cow for some reason. Adeline...just sounds like some old lady sitting knitting something in the 1800s...yuck!
Agree with most of the names posted already. Some names are so old that hardly anyone uses them anymore, and some times esp with names....they are better left in the past where they belong.
Our 90 year old Adeline also known as Aunt Dolly does much more than sit in the rocker knitting.
It is a beautiful name that goes with a beautiful, loving, giving woman whom we all adore.
The name is not as important as the person though and it also makes me wonder what others think of YOUR name.
Maybe they see you sitting in the cave completely excited that fire has been discovered and the wheel invented.
I feel bad for whoever has the last name Wojciechowski.
I grew up with Wojciechowskis, Znanieckis, and Chojnackis (the pronunciation of the last one in particular kills me). I happened to grow up amongst a bunch of Poles and other ethnic eastern Europeans, although my background and last name is decidedly more boring.

I knew one of these. "sha-NACK-ee". Of course, my dad used to call her "sha-NECK-ee"... never made sense.
What makes a name attractive or unattractive is largely a matter of opinion. But I'm with the people who talk about the "When Harry Met Sally" test. If you want to be less sexual about it, imagine a love scene out of an old black-and-white movie. Man takes woman in his arms, they gaze into each other's eyes lovingly, and say "Oh __________" (<--- insert name there)... if you can't see yourself doing that without silently laughing or gagging, it's an unattractive name.
