Does anyone know where i can find a list of baby names for boys and girls that was popular during the 1860s?

I checked the Social Security Agency website for a list. They record and keep official data like this. However, it appears as if they did not start recording popular baby names until the 1880's. If anything for the 1860's exists, it is most likely an unofficial record... sorry. But if you're just casually browsing for baby names, then it will be worth checking out the 1880's list since these lists don't vary all that much from one decade to another.

I names my first daughter Zella, very popular around that time period.. I cant find a spacific book that has names in it from that period, but i would look up peoles family trees and search around that time period. I think that betsy was a popular one then too... the biblical ones never go out of style, and where very popular around that time period.





Good luck to you..





My daughters names:


Zella,


Aleena,


I like them both very much, but cant find what they mean.
