Baby names 1900 - 1909

[MummyLovesSadie]

If, like me, you are searching for an original yet classic baby name, then this list might come in handy. It's the top 1000 US names from that period. Will have to see if I can find a UK version.

(BTW some of them are definite no-no's.. Santa anyone??!)

What a fanastic list. Well done mummyloves !
Guadalupe is my favourite

That's interesting, my son's name is in 400s now, and it was in the 400s back then. My daughter's name is in the 100s now and was in the 100s back then!! That seems quite..... symetrical!

Valium you obviously picked very consistent names!

dd's name (Polly) hasn't really budged either, fromwhat I can tell.

I think the longer version of my sons name was actually more popular then than it is now, although it is getting more popular lately.

I love the name Gertrude. Reallly love it, but it never goes down well.

My 98 year old nan is a Gertrude. However she never liked it, and stated to everyone "Call me Gert and leave off the rude part"

So, on the boys side when its just one letter, W, number 61, for example, is that the name?

Do you call the 'Doubleu' or just 'wwu'

Them not the

My grnny was Gertrude. I really like the shortened 'Gertie'.

I don't dislike the shortened 'Trudie'

My first name doesn't make the list at all but my surname appears as a girl's name - definitely not a usual first name!

I was wondering about the single letters, but was thinking maybe they registered a letter instead of a middle name, like (was it?) Harry H Truman.

82 people were named Dock?

And over 100 were named Melba - the Jordans of yesteryear

There were more Jesusses than Daves!!!

DSs is in roughly the same place as well

Valium same with DS' name
