Did your grandparents have names you don't hear much anymore?

Like Clarence, Hubert or Marmaduke for the men and Phyllis, Edna or Blanche for the women?

My grandparents had Italian names, but the English equivalents are still pretty common in the U.S.

On the other hand, I had an Aunt Sadie. I have not met many Sadies lately, but yesterday there was a high school student named Sadie working as a cashier at the grocery store. I talked with her about her name. She was named after a great-grandmother.
I imagine both of you were smiling during this brief encounter.
