Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week and the weekend will be in 2 days. So the post I have for you is another one in the Top Debuts series. I have the years 1901-1904. There are only 4 years this time because the 4th year has a TON on names. So let’s get started.
1901
Venita- This was the top debut for girls in 1901 and was given to 11 babies. Venita means home people in Latin. It was given to no babies this year.

So that is my list. I hope you guys are enjoying this series and I will hopefully get back to the “Rare” names series this weekend. As of right now I am ahead of my posting days so I am still posting everyday but once I get behind I will make up a schedule and hopefully follow it. I am trying to stay ahead but I don’t know how long that will happen because of school. That is really all and I will take to you tomorrow. Bye for now :).

Wow, some great names from the turn of the century!
ReplyDeleteVenita, Estela and Magdaline all sound beautiful, and hello, who knew Lenon's variant Lennon would end up being so big?
I love Magadline and Venita.
DeleteI know right! It is so cool to see how these names were so rare back than but are really popular now.
