What would you name ten children?
These names are some of the least popular names (only used 5 times) that appeared in the US social security names lists from 1880 to 1884. Please name one boy and one girl from each year. The names are exactly as they appear on the lists, so please don't change the spellings - it takes some of the fun out of it.
I did pick mostly the more unusual names - I like to see what people come up with. Enjoy! 1880 Girls FN: Verona, Tempie, Tella, Bulah, Delphine, Gwendolyn, Mahalia, Marilla. Girls MN: Rennie, Parthenia, Sabra, Albertine, Elmire, Lovisa, Ottilia, Lemma. Boys FN: Starling, Roswell, Linwood, Nimrod, Hyrum, Leonidas, Ceylon, Spurgeon Boys MN: Sylvanus, Montgomery, Moroni, Justice, Knute, Fleming, Ennis, Arvid. 1881 Girls FN: Viney, Siddie, Lugenia, Izora, Gretta, Doshie, Corean, Loma. Girls MN: Sabina, Texanna, Ozella, Ressie, Epsie, Eulah, Alverta, Nealie. Boys FN: Weldon, Pryor, Primus, Jere, Esequiel, Hayes, Author, Dolphus. Boys MN: Okey, Seward, Less, Marius, Halbert, Hilliard, Burrell, Math. 1882 Girls FN: Artelia, Birdella, Edmonia, Jerusha, Loda, Olena, Sada, Thekla. Girls MN: Belva, Dezzie, Fairy, Jemima, Modena, Rella, Zilla, Blossom. Boys FN: Amon, Bayard, Dionicio, German, Lazarus, Rudolf, Parley, Leonce. Boys MN: Bluford, Caswell, Erasmus, Hubbard, Oather, Sumner, Tilden, Urban. 1883 Girls FN: Cappie, Deetta, Bina, Icey, Lorene, Mattye, Tinnie, Victorine.

Boys MN: Ancel, Bose, Dink, Grove, Hyman, Lovie, Orel, Loney. 1884 Girls FN: Berenice, Caldonia, Doshia, Fleeta, Media, Petronella, Temple, Sarepta. Girls MN: Byrde, Alexina, Elfrieda, Malissie, Mossie, Signe, Pernie, Nanna. Boys FN: Bunk, Beecher, Chin, Euclid, Golden, Maryland, Proctor, Volney.

1880: Delphine Rennie and Linwood Justice
1881: Gretta Nealie and Hayes Burrell (thought Author Math would be pretty funny) 1882: Sada Blossom and Lazarus Urban (those are the best so far. Kind of hipster.) 1883: Icey Sedonia and Ingram Grove (hippies!) 1884: Temple Signe and Beecher Pliny. If I could get two together, Justice Urban and Temple Blossom - which actually seem downright 21st century. |
