in addtion to my last post--- the names!

[politicking.livejournal.com]

& now, names that:
- i had either not heard of (there were a few!)
- found surprising (because i didn't realize they were very popular back then)
- had more kr8yve spellings (Ys thrown in)
- also, some of the meanings for names are WAY different than now (IE: Ryan, as far as i knew meant "Little king", in this book it means "A capable executive" lol!)

Cadwalladar?

My grandmother suggested the name Enoch for my baby(if baby is a boy).. I went crazy. I was like huh? lol.

Van Ness seems so weird to me. It looks like a new alternative of "Vanessa"

Where did you get this book?

Cadwalladar made me laugh because the day i read it, i had just seen that there is a street near me named Cadwaladar Street haha. it apparently means "valiant in war."

it was my grandmother's... i assume she was given it when she was pregnant with my uncle, as he was born Feb. 1967, & it was published in '66.

Haha..
That's awesome that she kept it. I would love to have an older name book like that to go through. =)
