- I Love looking back in time to find vintage gems and this list sounds really on trend I think! It's incredible to imagine the real personalities and lives of the people named in this list :-) Which is your favourite? SJ.

I see a baby names list from SJ, I click. It’s that simple 😂❤.
I clicked because I saw 1870 and I was like 'What, 1870? I've got to see this to see what was popular back then'
@@IsabelJones69I love Drury, Lorna, and Wrenny!
Love these names. Bring on more of these 150 year old names!
I found a baby name book in the charity shop today and can’t wait to delve into it! It’s so old!!! ❤
I clicked so fast! I love this theme! Some of my favorites in my family tree: Waitstill and Hopestill
Wowwwww! Love those x
What a fun & interesting list. Casimir Valentine & Theodosia Oceana were the top names for me. Very classy & special.
These names are so amazing! Gentleman John and Amiable Felicity had me screaming. Definitely need more of these vintage names! 😍
Oh this list is so up my alley!!! Next time I get into an ancestry kick I’ll send you a list of the wild names from 1700s Quebec!
Yes my Quebecoise ancestors have the best names! I've got a bunch on my list
please do! and what else is interesting about them is that they speak french as it was in france then and qc being surrounded by anglos it remained more or less the same, whereas france accents changed!
@@Cassxowary some from my ancestors are Apollonie, Medee, Rasmine, Anceline, Xaintine, Erminie and Alodia.
For boys I like Mathurin, Etienne, Tené, Azelin
I feel like all my female Canadian ancestors were named varients of Lavinna / Lavinia
New Brunswick
This has to be the video that I put the most names on my personal list. How are these names even real?! I love soooo many of them!!
Ah yay! Isn’t it an amazing list!
This list is an absolute dream! More of this please ❤❤❤
I had to laugh at your reaction to Alderman Willie. 😂 These caught my attention: Felicity, Adaliza, Beauclerc, Avonnia, Golden, Valentine, Dulcie (for long form, could always go with Dulcinea), Alwyn, Lorenzo, Beaumont, Theodosia, and Oceana. I have some wild names in my family history, including Analiza, Vallula, and Dorcas. One relative (not a direct ancestor but the sibling of one) was named Missouri. We don't live in Missouri and they didn't either, lol.
Alwyn is such a beautiful name! We've definitely considered Analise for a baby girl too 🩷
“Missouri gets its name from a tribe of Sioux First Nations People of the state called the Missouris. The word "Missouri" often has been construed to mean "muddy water" but the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology has stated it means "town of the large canoes," and authorities have said the First Nations syllables from which the word comes mean "wooden canoe people" or "he of the big canoe."
I recently watched an episode of this series with a girl named Dorcas in colonial times, Puritans and all that
I love that you've been bringing up Casimir in your videos recently because I just named a character in my book that name and I LOVE it!!!
This was my favourite of your videos! You should do a part 2 😊 Esterlie and Dulcie are so pretty 😍
That’s so good to hear! I will do x
There is a woman in my family tree born in the 1800s named Freelove and I always thought she must have been like really loose and just given herself that name when she got older. But it fits right in with the Puritans and now it all makes so much sense. Thank you! This was the most interesting and beautiful list, loved hearing every name!
Alderman Willie reaction 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅
Im in love with these names! Please do more!
Ok so for April Fools (not sure if that's something you acknowledge in England), a list of names that would be beautiful if the name didn't currently mean something weird or awkward. Examples: Rosacea ( beautiful but is a skin condition 😅), Duvet, Muesli, Veal, etc. Words that sound beautiful but for the meaning. Jist thought it would be funny and entertaining. 😂
I named my daughter Ardella. It is a forgotten variation of Ardith from this same time period.
So pretty!
My baby is Adella
It’s gorgeous x
These names are stunning!
These are just gorgeous! 😮
Actually so many gems here! Shocked! Due in September and so excited!
LOVE this name list 😍
Gwendolyn is such a beautiful name. My sister is called Gwennan and she gets so many compliments. My parents named her after my french exchange in school!! 😘
Wow! I remember our French exchange student so well! ❤
Can you go even further back to the middle ages, some lovely Anglo-Saxon names!
Please and thank you!
Yes! I did this list years ago and need to re explore x
What a creative , unique list of names. Bravo S J !
Thank you!! Isn’t it a great list!
good idea! though it sounds more like 1570 than 1870 for some (especially the start ones) :p out of these I like: adaliza, aldyth, avenel, avonnia, alwyn, esterlie, alwina, theodosia (theda bara’s first name), ozias, and drury is too close to dreary otherwise maybe heh
what about old scandi (and viking era) names next? because so many babies there now have western names and there’s great ones lost to time!
have a good one!(:
Wow, these are really beautiful
Amazing list! Would love more of these please!
Ahh so glad you loved it! I just found a vintage name book in the charity shop and can’t wait to look at it properly x
I loved this one. Im super picky about names and I found two I really liked. Im a big fan of vintage names. Hope we get more videos like this.
I found a vintage name book at the charity shop today!!
@@SJ_Strum oh my that’s so exciting! I can’t wait to see what you find! 💜
I really liked this a lot
Adored Esterlie so much that it is now the name of a minor character in the final book of my series! :) Full name: Esterlie Seraphine "Ess" Salvetti. At the beginning of the book she is the as yet unborn baby sister of two of the protagonists (Esterlie is born later in the book).
These names really seem like they’re last names and then first names!
Such wonderful rare rare names
Love this list! My great-great-great nana born in 1875 was called Minnie Hymen🤣
Great idea for a name list! Would love to hear more of these unique antique names :D
I would totally list: Adaliza
Aldyth - my late aunt was Edythe, so it would be a great tribute!
Avenel - love a soft sounding boy's name
Beauclerc - I think it could be pronounced like Beauclair?
Golden - love this for boys AND girls! And either could be Goldie!
Alwyne - similar to Edwin or Alvin, but cooler in a Tolkien sort of way
Esterlie - SO PRETTY! I love -lie endings
Theodosia - all at once classy and dramatic. Theodosia could be a lead stage actress or opera singer or silent film star. Either way, all eyes are on Theodosia, just the way she likes it. Fabulous.
My middle name is Adalize! I have never seen it anywhere else before! I like it better with the a at the end lol
Wowwww! ❤
Amiable could be turned into Amibel -- I used to love the idea of the name Amibel Penn
I want to know who these people were! So interesting.
These are sooo cool!! Wish half of them sounded as good in my American accent as they do in your gorg British accent 😘
Loving these names! Alwyne Frank is my fav for a boy but for girls I think Liena is beautiful. Esterlie Harriet also caught my eye because Esterlie sounds similar to Everleigh and I have two daughters named Everleigh Skye and Harriet Aria💞
Love Blossie, Wrenny and Liena ❤
I worked with a Spendlove (last name), Alderman (last name) and an Ozias!
I LOVE Esterlie! And all the alliterations.
these are so amazing, the last boy name Ozias Kemp was wonderful and I love Adaliza in our area Analise is a rare older name that I thought about using for a girl but we had another boy so oh well, had I known about Ozias I might have used it. loved this and wonder if the meanings we know today for the names is the same as then.
Love many of these!! It is the Muffin Man who lives on Drury Lane! Wish there were a muffin emoji 🧁👨🏻
My headmistress at secondary school was Mrs Spendlove!
I loved Avonnia!😍
I love Vintage names! 😍 My Daughter is Avalla Florence - both named after my Victorian relatives 😊
i like Blossie, especially as a nickname for Blossom - love Drury and Beaumont, and Casbourne is a cute alternative for Caspian! also like Dulcie - which was actually a name on my parent's shortlist of potential baby names for me! 💕
I’m in the US and I met an older lady named Avonelle and I think it’s so pretty for a girl as well!
Can you do a rare/old Cornish name list, please? ❤
They really had some good names in the 1870’s!
SJ I run a IG name page and suggested Gent as a word name for a mama looking for something similar to Saint! Haha love Gentleman John 😂
LOVE the name Aldyth 😍
I have an Adelie, so similar with style to some of these🥰
ESTERLIE 💘
I work in a museum and often come across interesting names on the census - my favourite so far has been Zilla which means shadow! Couldnt convince my partner of it though
there are some really beautiful Puritan baby names, but also some that are WILD!
i was reading about them recently, and found records of babies named:
Humiliation
Pardon
Vanity
Forsaken
Hate-evil
Faint-not
Sorry-for-sin
Dust-and-ashes
Fly-fornication
brothers named Love-well, Do-well, Fare-well and Die-well
also a boy named Acts-of-the-Apostles - (nicknamed Actsy) and another named Through-Much-Tribulation-We-
Enter-The-Kingdom-Of-Heaven (nicknamed Tribby)!!!
I absolutely love Adaliza, Liena, and Ozias
My daughter is nicknamed 'DD' as that's what we called the bump because we couldn't decide between Dorothy or Dulcie! We went with Dorothy in the end, but I love Dulcie so much ❤ I got the name from a book called 'Wild Bells to the Wild Sky' which has a little girl named Dulcie in it
Amabelle would be lovely ❤
Lorenzo is one of my favorite boy names❤
I love Esterlie ❤ Could also do Esterline/ Esterlyn
Amiable(ami , mia) Felicity, Liena Alwina, and Esterlie Harriot are adorable princess names. Adaliza is one of my favorite older vintage gems that I'd consider using for a real person. Avenel sounds similar to Avery & Avril. Dulcie Gwendolyn & Wrenny Susan are cute. Theodosia Oceana , Aldyth Lorna , Avonnia , Casimir Valentine, & Alwyne Frank could be in a historical book or play together.
Any ideas what we could pick as the middle name for Charlotte? It has to work for English and German speakers and have a certain rhythm (my husband is a musician 😅). Nothing I suggest seems to be IT.
Esterlie is beautiful! One of my great grandma's names was Esther.
The name Dulce (dool-seh) means candy in Spanish 💕 such a beautiful name!! My favorite by far. Wishing you healing and love SJ!
and sweet, and lovely and such
That’s not how you pronounce it either 😭
My great uncle had one of my favorite names of all times. He was born in the 40’s and his name was Devereaux Pink
There are some really good ones here! I tried to get my husband to love Dulcie the way I do, but he just didn’t.
I have a great grandmother Spendlove!
I sound like an ass saying these names in the US but they sounds so magical rolling off your tongue in your accent 😂 I so wish I could pull these names off for my kids
Not quite 1870, but just a decade later: a potential relation of mine (I say potential because I found this info on Ancestry, it's not corroborated by my family) is a great-great-great aunt, born in 1880, with the unusual name Andrurina/Andrina (there are records clearly connected to the same lady but the names are slightly different; maybe Andrina was a nickname?)
Not name related, but family tree fun fact - a different great-great-great aunt (this one I'm more sure of), Emma Jane, moved from Scotland to Connecticut, USA, where she lived to 102! Seems she passed in 2003, a few months shy of turning 103.
I adore Esterlie! Might become a character name in my series ;)
My 3 X great grandmothers name was Gussie. I think it is definitely a 2024 style name
This list is fantastic! Bring on 1877! So you should do a crossover with professor Henry Louis gates at Harvard,:who do you think you are" traces genealogy.
On a separate note I come from a long line of Dorcas in New Amsterdam. Thankfully dodged that name!!
I know a girl named Dorcas, it really is an awful name. Feel sorry for her.
@@marty9011 i get it! Rough name to have!
I think it’s fine, and it reminds me of a character from this series I like and also the biblical one who was sewing clothes for the poor and other such things…
Better than thinking of frozen every time you see Elsa lol
Where is the article linked?
Ozias is beautiful
Dulcie was my grandmothers name, born around 1920
❤❤❤
My 2nd son is named after an ancestor from this era, Stillman Whitney
You just helped me find my alias😅Wrenny Susan. My name is Renee Suzanne.
Apparently you can refer to your cousins’’ children as your nieces and nephews! I wanted to know what I should call my cousins’ children and what they should call me.
that works, and your kids and theirs are first cousins
I have just heard the name Euphrosyne, name of a Goddess for good cheer, joy and mirth. You could use Rosy as a nickname!
I would love Laurelaine or Laureline to go with my name.
One of my ancestors names were. Alabama Allie 😊
I have a relative who was known as
"Tine Cole", the Tine being the last syllable of his first name Valentine.
Reminds me of Topher Grace, full name Christopher
@@ashleymufasayah or anyone named Tina
I would love it if someone could give me some suggestions for a short male middle name that goes with the first name Constantine
Duke Laird Beech Lloyd Franz Henk Chad Bay Trigg Ladd Grant Oake
@@Celeste-dp5ur Thank you so much I love Lloyd
Cole
I’m not gonna have children any time soon but as a a literary artist these are excellent names for nerdy kids at a parochial school.
My FIL's middle name is Alwyn and if I were to want kids that would definitely be on the list. But maybe for a girl instead.
I have an ancestor from the 1600s named Love Champion ❤️
that’s interesting, I hope it wasn’t ironic….
@@Cassxowary I don't think the Puritans did irony 😂
I love the name Arundel but when i looked it up i didn't see eagle valley meaning, it said valley of horehound 😬😬😬
I have some girl's names to add: Maevis, Arilla, and Savonne.
savonne is like savannah but not used a lot… it just reminds me of “savon” which is french for soap but that can still be a good thing, good meaning! like washing the world of the bad and making it better kinda thing
LOL @3:17
Try a "bird name" list!
Older man willy 💀
Now I want to name a dog or cat Gentleman
I just listened to a podcast episode of a Cult, and they all had puritan type names..horrible man, but great names!😅 Hopeful Christian was the leader, and one of his daughters was Miracle.
Blossie🥹🫶🏼
Buckley's is a notoriously disgusting cough medicine here in Canada so Bellows Buckley is a hard pass for me 😂
I have a great x? grandma from this age period named Floranus.... not my fave
Avenel would be a hard pass in New Jersey (US) -- it's the name of a forensic prison for sex offenders! 😱
Dulcie with the -ie is French! Dulce is Spanish (Dulce is pronounced either dull-say or dull-thay, depending on dialect and region. Living in the states I typically hear dull-say.)
Love Avenel for a girl and Liena. Kemp for a boy.
Your pronunciations of Dulcie made me cringe lol nooooo 😂
