These were the most popular baby names in the 1880s

Most of us have spent our lives fussing over baby names.
We've had the "That one's too common! That one's too weird! Wait, wasn't my year six bully called Samuel, definitely not!" monologue with our other half over a hundred times and still, finding a suitable moniker for our little one is always a struggle.
But if you've exhausted the popular 2019 baby names guide, perhaps go the other way. Trends come and go, but as these names were good enough for our great, great, great grandparents (and are still floating around today!) they have more than proved themselves as good, solid names.
