Perfectly respectable uncle and aunt names from the not-too-distant past. Not trying to outdo you - honest! - but my mother had an uncle named Bertie Pickles.

My mother's favorite actress was Viola Dana (from way back... )

@rinkydinkydoink My mother hated being a Viola. She went by "Vickie."

Vickie is much better. Sounds friendlier, more approachable.
