1909: The Wild Side

The natural cycle of names--antique names sound more interesting than names from our own or our parent's generations. Today's Top 100 list is full of turn-of-the-century gems like Lily, Evelyn, Henry, and Charles. Here are some names I think are ripe for revival from the 100 years ago:

Girls:
Alice
Rose
Hazel
Gertrude (Gertie!)
Ruby
Josephine
Clara
Lucille
Mabel
Viola
Cora
Sylvia
Genevieve

Boys:
George
Harry
Albert
Harold
Arthur
Leo
Theodore
Lee
Edwin
Leon
Harvey
Everett
Morris
Julius
Otis
Glenn
