Having too much fun on thenamemachine.com, which I was using to look up Zelda and Jordan from the Great Gatsby, as I wanted to know if they were popular then in the 20s. ( Zelda yes, Jordan no )

Audrey
Sylvia
Zelda: variant of Griselda, which is Teutonic for stone heroine
Olivia
Duncan: Celtic dark skinned warrior
Kyle: Gaelic for handsome

My girl names except for my own were popular during the 20s and the boy names have been popular in the last decade.


Wilda: Anglo Saxon forest dweller, also a 20s name
Willa: 20s and 30s, Anglo Saxon for desired
Ursula: 70s
Una: Gaelic for unique
Odessa: 1900s
Oleta: 1910
Ophelia: popular until the 50s
Idella: popular until the 30s
Imogene: 20s, Latin for imagine
Ingeborg, huh
Iona: popular until the 40s
Isis: popular this decade
Izora: popular until 1900 with this comment
Comment left Jun 27, 2007: "It is my name Izora Whitney and I like it a lot. I am almost 100 years old and I'm afraid I will be the last Izora to walk this earth, but I will carry my name proudly to heaven. God bless you, everyone!"

Waldemar: only during 1910
Wardell: 20s thru 60s, awesomeness
Westley: 1900, 1980s Princess Bride
Osvaldo: since the 80s, very cool name
Ottis: until the 40s, very funny as I can't figure out if it's Otis misspelled or OTT-ISS.
Isidro: start in the 40s, then 80s onward


I hate when people intentionally misspell names, so as to make them "unique." It makes them seem STUPID.

My former German teacher named her daughter Lotus. Or something like that.
