HelpRe: Eye-catchers from an 1871 Publication, Batch 1 (49 names)
in reply to a message by Tiggs
I like Ada Guile. In a way that I'd love it on a fictional super-spy, at least.
Arthur Montague is brilliant.
Birdie Jay! That's sort of fantastic.
Chauncey! I must admit, I've always had a soft spot for this name.
Desire Bacon?! Oh my gosh, that is just too good. xD

I was surprised to see Guile as it seems rather an "anti-virtue" and these were highly-religious folks but maybe it's also a surname or place name or such, or perhaps she's meant to use her "gift of guile" to thwart "the serpent".
Arthur Montague and Chauncey are among my favorites as well; I have a Chauncey in my more direct family tree, brother to my 3rd gr grandfather on another line.
Desire, as with many of these names, was passed down a lot through the various lines of descendants but, even if I loved it more than any other name, I don't think I'd bestow it as a fn when my surname is BACON, or anything else that makes a humorous phrase.
