In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

Some Interesting Names Which I found in "Who's Who in America 1904"

GIRLS


Aubertine - the woman's middle name, but the name she went by (she also used the pen name Auber). Really rather remarkable. Annie Aubertine Woodward Moore.



BOYS 


Appleton

Durán- I'm familiar with this as a Spanish surname, but this was the first name of a man born in Colombia.

Effingham

Ehrman

Gouverneur - this man was a jr, as his father was also named Gouverneur

Hersey - this spelling


Lonzo

Loveland

Mirza - or Morteza, I'm not sure if Mirza was a title or type of surname (in the frontal position). This man was from Iran. General Mirza Morteza Khan, Momtazel-Molk.

Montrose

Platt

Prince - hardly the only person named Prince ever born, but I'm fascinated by the use of this as a first name. This man was a physician who graduated from Princeton College, Kentucky

Read - another middle name that the man went by

Richards - the man's middle name, but the name he went by

Rollins

Stanton

Veranus 

Welton 

Wilhelmus
