Sadakichi - another guy that chose to go by his middle name. He had both German and Japanese ancestry.
Valery - because I had not previously realized Valery was ever used on boys
These are all first names? If so, I've never heard of Valery as a boy's name either. Rollin is interesting as well as Kittredge.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love you blog :)!
Yes, except for some names that were middle names, but I indicate that, and only when they went by that name instead of their first name.
DeleteI've seen Rollin and Kittredge as last names, of course, and last names as first names was a big trend in the 19th century.
Thank you for the compliment. I love it when someone posts a comment, so I'm glad you stopped by.
