You're right, "Little Hawk" is out of style.

It was hugely popular with North American Indians in the old days...translated, of course, from their various original languages...but it's almost unheard of now. That's okay, because my real given name in this life is out of style now too. It is presently reserved only for silly animals on TV comedy shows, really dumb husbands on TV comedy shows, and odd cartoon characters. Too bad. It was such a fine name for centuries...

It could have been worse, though. My parents could have named me "Ralph"!

Here's another name that's gone out of style:

Prudence - short form: "Pru"
