Know Any Old, Attractive Names?

Question

I'm writing a story with characters born in very different years and I'm having trouble finding sites with any good names i can use. I don't want the name to me TOO unique or difficult to pronounce- this would take away from my story. But i also don't want any names such as: John, William, Joseph, Mary etc... soo here are the genders and birth year of each character:

Male- 1973

Female- 1925

Female- 1897

Male- 1849

Male- 1739

I know kinda jumpy with the years ^_^

If you can help, I'd really appreciate it a whole lot<3
