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
- Shel Silverstein
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
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

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!
