One of my favoirte (and there a few that I really like) baby name books is Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana by Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran. What I like about this one is that it's a bunch of name lists based on different categories and I since I love popularity stats (if you do too I recommend The Baby Name Countdown) so I thought it would be fun to poll you guys on the names. The first list is names from the turn of the last century (1900's). I'll post the results and the next poll in a few days.

To continue my list of names that should be left in the past... Olive, Priscilla, Stella, Violet, Abraham, Ambrose, Amos, Chester, Cornelius, Francis, Homer, Jasper, Lionel, Moses, Oscar, Otto, and Theodore.

The other unchecked ones not listed above were okay, just not my taste.

By the way, I like that book, too

Oops.. forgot to check Grace, I think. I like Grace.

I like Nellie as a nickname (I have a friend Danielle who is Nelli to some), but not as a stand alone name

The only reason I checked Jasper, was because I used to have a dog named this, and it really suited him. However, I really don't think it would work well on a baby these days.

Interesting.. I have met two or three young boys called Jasper. They're probably around 6 years old by now.
