[Opinions] Re: American boys with girls' names?!!
in reply to a message by Pie
As far as I know, these list include second or third middle names. And then, even more then now, it was common to honour relatives or godparents. So Pearl, a not uncommon surname, was probably the mothers maiden name. Or Anna was the grandmothers name and the child was called James Anna Smith.
I aso agree on there beeing a lot of mistakes in the data.
