Girls names in western school district in Vienna, 1900

Blimey, Adolfine - that hasn't stood the test of time

Hedwig might make comeback though.

delilah

So many more female versions of male names back then...

Yes, now where you're pointing this out..I haven't even noticed.

But the reason I have wanted to share this is because as I am not from the UK and not an English native speaker, I was stunned to see so many similarities between those names and all the names mentioned and suggested here on MN by so many posters.
Probably 80% or so seem to be names also typical in the UK at that time, or what would be considered by some people posh names...

In case anyone wonders why I have even posted this on a UK parent site
