[Opinions] Re: Best and Worst Names listed in the "Ladies Home Journal" from 1945
Wow, what a treasure! I'm curious about how the names were chosen as well. But it still really shows how taste is cyclical - so many of the disliked names have come back into style. Matilda, Abigail!! Tillie, Anastasia, and Bridget are surprising to me. I love the idea of people turning their noses up at Abigail for being ugly and old fashioned, that's great. And the ugly boys list - Felix, Ezra, Casper, Isaac! See, this is proof that something we might think of as a "classic" name that nobody could ever dislike, isn't necessarily so at all. So cool!
