Wow. That is some list. Some really good ones in there. Thank you for your input everyone! Feel free to keep it going.
Capitola, “Cap” for short. One of my aunts, born in 1916.
LOL! Practically every member of my family has been mentioned in here. Mildred, Florence, Arnold, Arthur, and Ethel Bernice. Somehow, my dad’s name hasn’t been mentioned. May I present…
Norman
On second thought, I kind of like Zeldar’s suggestion of Geraldo. 
My grandparents: Lauren Virgil and Bernice Genevieve, Lonney Foster and Evelyn. Huh, I don’t even know if she has a middle name. Must ask.
I submit: Stentor, if the dog has a really deep bass bark. Apologies to my human friend Stenny for snitching his name.
Check your local paper’s obituaries for more good names. I’ve trolled the obits for names of characters about whom I’m writing.
Harold
Stanley
Arthur
Albert
George
Or perhaps something like Bill, Bob, Geoff or Brian.
For the ladies:
Ethel
Doris
Mavis
Gladys
Or Dot, Bea, Lil or Vera.
Hey!
There’s a good list http://www.galbithink.org/names/us200.htm. It’s got the most popular names from 1800 till 1999
Methuselah
Mortimer.
D’Arcy.
Rupert.
Archibald.
Nigel.
Winston.
Virgil.
And that great Northern English tradition (exported to the West Indies) of using surnames as first names, like the English actor Robson Green. West Indies cricketers have the coolest names. Chester Watson. Grayson Shillingford. Thelston Payne. Patterson Thompson. Wavell Hinds.
It has been picked up in the American south with names like Beauregard and Sullivan.
A lot of the “old” names mentioned so far are very popular right now.
But “Gladys” isn’t. It doesn’t get any older than “Gladys.” Gladys Knight is 66, and she’s a spring chicken by Gladys standards.

Wilford, after Wilford Brimley.
I like the idea of going with an “opposite” name. Remember The Dukes of Hazzard? Roscoe P. Coltrane had a lazy basset hound named “Flash.”
Hortense is a kitty name. It just is.
Bassett hound = Buford or Piedmont.
