Know any good (old-fashion) 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

-K-

oh.. P.S. i also have a normal character X] SHE is 17. i named her Grace but i just wanted to see if any of you might have some better suggestions (she's shy if that helps). again..thanks

Answer 1

male 1973, maybe Keith, Paul, Denny, Roland, Markus, Brent, Derrick

female 1925-Tessa, Isobel, Claire, Stella, Bette, Eleanore

Female-1897 Amelia, Isabella, Iris, Maisie,Lydia, Elizabeth

male 1849- Charles, Franklin, Andrew, Thadeus

male 1739-  Abraham, Isaac, Gabriel

As for the 17 year old, Grace is a nice name. I like Emily and Emma, too.

I used actors, books and  writers for references, i hope it helped a little.

Answer 2

Godfrey, Victoria, Anastacia,Napoleon,Abraham, Theodore

Answer 5

These are names from my family.  And also some names of friends of theirs.  I know you say you don&#039;t want names such as John, Mary, etc. but you say you want it to be authentic.  So I am giving you names of real people around that time.

1- Larry, Barry, 2 Edwards, one called Eddie, Mike, John, Kevin, Mark.  All in their early 20&#039;s in &#039;73 and all in Michigan.  Denny and Ray for little boys in &#039;73.

2- Hazel, Anna, Rose, Edith.  All in early 20&#039;s in 1925.

3- Anna (different Anna).  Would have been 29 in 1897.

4- Milton, Oscar, Orville.  In early 20&#039;s in 1849.

Don&#039;t know of anybody in 1739.  I could look up authors and presidents to see when they were born and how old they were in what year, etc but I don&#039;t feel like it.  Too lazy.  :P

Answer 6

Rip off names from Lord of the Rings.
