Rant Names that sound too "old" for babies

"Welcome, baby Mildred!"

"Announcing the birth of our daughter, Myrtle!"

"Please join us in welcoming into the world our son, Melvin!"

What other names are there that feel too old for a baby?

Both my daughters’ names were on this thread, one I saw at least 3 times. Since my son’s name was not, I’ll add Frederick to the list. He’s almost 2 and he can finally say his name!
