I am writing a period drama set in the 1920s. I am looking for every day, but not popular, first names of people who would be alive in that period. I need popular names from 1890 – 1910 (as those people would be late teens to thirties in the roaring twenties). I know the most famous names (Mary, Emma, Marie, George, and Charles). I am looking for common names that would fit in that period (for males and females) but not the obvious ones. I want my story to have characters with memorable names that have character.
Please list popular female names from the 1890s and the 1900s and do the same with male names. Give at least 10 for each sex, for each decade.
