This was pretty difficult until I hit 1955 and suddenly I wanted to use all of the names 😅. I really like vintage names, I guess.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES

That's funny because mid-century is where I struggle the most to find names I like.
Yeah, I was expecting that to be the case for me, too, but it's surprising how many late 1800s/early 1900s gems (those are my favorite decades) stuck around until the 1950s.
True!
