Baby Girls of the Late Nineteenth Century

Girls' names that were popular between 1870-1900 but are rarely heard now. Although they might be considered too outdated to some, I think these names still have potential, at least as middles!

All the old ae/ay <a href="https://nameberry.com/list/479/middle-names-for-girls">middle names for girls</a> are back — Kay, Fay, Mae/May — and Rae is one of the coolest, used as such by celebrities as Mark Wahlberg and Daniel Baldwin. 
 
Even more popular in the celebrisphere is the jazzy Ray spelling: among those who used it as their daughters' middles are Bruce Willis, Dermot Mulroney, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, Uma Thurman and Lee Lee Sobieski. 
 But Rae is perfectly capable of standing on her own, as in Rae Dawn Chong; it was in the Top 500 in the first two decades of the twentieth century.

Audacious offshoot of Roxanne, the wayward heroine of the musical Chicago. 

Roxie

Sunny, sassy, and stylish, Zella is a multicultural and versatile choice which works across multiple languages. Popular back in the early 19th century, Zella is now catching the attention of cotemporary parent as a rival to Ella, Stella, and Della.
 
From its African roots, Zella is both a Libyan oasis and a name of Bobangi origin with the powerful meaning "lacking knowing, one who knows the way". From its American and European roots, Zella likely emerged as a short form or a twist on names including: Rosella, Marcella, Gizella, Isabella, Zelda, Zillah, Griselda, or Zelie, giving it a whole host of possible meanings. 
 
Zella was in the US Top 1000 between 1880 and 1950, before it mostly fell out of use. It began to see renewed interest in the late 2000s and in a recent year, was given to around 130 girls.
