Look for the list of interesting 1880 names with 21 to 30 births and/or interesting 1880 boy's names, coming
Wow isn't it interesting how cool the names at the bottom of the old lists often are? So many of these names seem not just usable, but positively hip.
ReplyDeleteEloise is very popular here, so is Evie; India, Bonnie, Cleo, Clementine and Elsa are fashionable and gaining in popularity. Serena is on the charts.
Vida, Iona, Magdalena, Willa, Theodora, Betsy, Neva, Vesta, Minna, Georgianna and Antonia all seem like names I could imagine on a new baby that would seem fresh and surprising, but not weird or freakish.
I agree, I can't wait to see what there is for 1881.
ReplyDeleteI would possibly use Iona, Antonia, Neva, Minna, Fay or Magdalena myself. Antonia pops up on the top 1000 here every once in a while, and Magdalena ranks low. Minna's been on my list for about two years now.
