Help[Opinions] Re: Best and Worst Names listed in the "Ladies Home Journal" from 1945
in reply to a message by diamanda
I like
Lawrence, Peter
Oscar, Horace, Oswald, Ezekiel, Isadore, Ezra, Casper, Felix, Wilbur, Clarence, Isaac, Cornelius, Aloysius
Dianne, Karen, Suzanne, Barbara, Margot
Anastasia, Alvira, Olive, Eula, Minerva, Zenobia, Abigail
It seems they disliked the somewhat common, somewhat obscure names that had been used a couple generations prior I guess those names to them were what Janet and Linda are now, though I can't see Anastasia as an ugly name, though it's not even my favorite. I much prefer the "most disliked" boys names.
