I don't know if any of you have ever heard of "Reminisce" magazine, but it covers all sorts of things from 1900-1960's.
There are an abundance of names, and I thought I'd share some of the ones I came across while reading:
(m) = Male
(f) = Female

Junius (m) 
Archie
Bettina (f)
Geraldine
Doris
Crawford (m)
Johnsie (f)
Clarence
Delone (m)
Denny
Miriam
Nellie
Marjorie
Ranora (f)
Mavis
LaNelle

I liked Geraldine, Archie, Miriam, and Clarence. Any opinions?

Ranora really struck me. I wonder what the origin is, or if it's made up? I like it. :o)

I like Junius; I've never seen it as a first name before. All the others I'm fairly indifferent about, except Johnsie, which I really don't like

You must not be a "Little House on the Prairie" fan, huh? Nellie was a total bitch, haha.

Wow, Junius is pretty awesome. How does everyone think it is pronounced? I'm reading it as "juney us", or basically like Julius with an n.
