I'm on a Wikipedia bender tonight, and my topic is early 20th century celebrities. Some very interesting, and some very pretty, names. It also reminded me of how many people didn't use their real names back then. This small list is just the ones I found to be the most interesting. Italicized are the ones I particularly like.

Girls
Ava Lavinia
Emilie Claudette (I wouldn't use either of them, but together, I think it's gorgeous)
Gladys Louise
Greta Lovisa
Harlean Harlow
Laura Augusta
Lucille Fay
Maria Magdalene
Theodosia Burr
Vera Jayne

Boys
Archibald Alexander
Douglas Elton Thomas
Eugene Curran
Henry Jaynes
Julius Henry
Laurence Kerr
Marion Robert
Melvyn Edouard
Samuel Yewell
Spencer Bonaventure

WDYT?

I like Emilie Claudette, Fay and Julius. Most of them are really nice though. I think Theodosia is awful, however.
