ArchivesRe: Popular Southern Names
in reply to a message by madchen
These were the most popular names in the nineteenth century:
Girls-
Mary
Anna
Elizabeth
Emma
Alice
Edith
Florence
May
Helen
Katherine
Boys-
William
John
Charles
Harry
James
George
Frank
Robert
Joseph
Thomas
I found these in "Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana". These names were the most popular for the United States as a whole, but I'm guessing that these names were very popular in the South as well.
