The posts about names from the 1800s sort of inspired me. Here are some of the more interesting names from my own (English-Irish-Scottish) family tree, circa late 1800s - early 1900s (when they were all either immigrating to or living in North America):

---

Female:

---

Maggie
Hannah
Nell
Florida

---

Male:

---

Edmond
Eugene
Alphonce nn "Phonce"
Aidan or Aiden (records apparently disagree on the spelling)
Maurice

---

Notable sibsets:

---

- Edmond, Simon, Daniel, Eugene, Fred, Vincent, Alphonce, William, Harry and Nell.
- Sara Sophia, Edmond Ambrose, Aiden Theodore, Robert, and Marie Margaret. (No idea why poor Robert doesn't get a middle name.)
(I could probably pull up even more interesting sibsets if I wanted to actually work; some of the families had, like, 14-16 kids.)

Thoughts? The only names that really jump out at me as overly strange are Florida and Alphonce (since I want to "correct" it to Alphonse).
