About this list
1900s names include some choices back in style (or even past their most recent peak), such as Lillian and Leo, Josephine and Jack. Other names from the early 1900s are still moored in that long-ago era, including Ethel and Elmer.
Along with Josephine and Lillian, other 1900s girl names that are currently in the US Top 1000 include Elsie, Hazel, Beatrice, and Mabel.
Along with Leo and Jack, 1900s boy names trending today include George, Theodore, Oscar, and Walter.
In addition to Ethel, the 1900s names with the steepest drops in popularity include Bessie, Myrtle, Thelma, and Bertha.
While we may not be hearing many babies named Gertrude and Clarence soon, names such as Mabel and Florence, Henry and Arthur are very much back in style.
Sourced from the Top 100 of the decade from 1900 to 1910, here is a list of popular baby names which are relatively rare today.
