Today I decided that I would take a look at popular boys' names from 1910.  The use of surnames as first names for boys was very fashionable a hundred years ago.  Names like:

Booker 
Cleveland
Fulton
Jefferson
Morgan
Ulysses
Watson
Webster
Wilson

Also a hundred years ago boys were given names that we associate with girls names today:

Allie
Audrey
Connie
Evelyn
Gale
Jodie
Leslie
Marion
Shelby

Actor John Wayne's given name was Marion Morrison, he was born in 1907. 

Nickname names were also popular in 1910, like:

Buck
Buddy 
Buster
Curley
Ike
Junior
Mac
Ossie

Enjoy!
