Re: Thoughts on these extinct girl names?

That seems like too big of a coincidence for Manila not to be related to the place in the Philippines, then. Curious. (1898 was the end of the Spanish-American War and Philippine Revolution; 1899 was the beginning of the Philippine-American War.)
Apart from that, I guess it's a bit like Manuela.

It could be related to that! That is the first thing I think of when I hear Manila.
