Re: Mr Susan
These are a result of errors in the SSA for the most part (is that where you're looking?). You also have to remember that "remarkably popular" names back then are different. Look on the SSA website now and see how much harder it is to make it onto the top 1000 names than say in 1880 when only 4 or 5 mistakes needed to be made to get a name on there. Easy when there's so many kids named Mary.
