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

DurĂ¡n- 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
