Someone recently posted a link on Facebook to some birth records from a small [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_f]England[/name_f] town. I thought some of you might be interested in some of the names. Some we’ve heard before. Others may be new or forgotten. By the way, some names are the parents’ and some are the babies’ names. It is my understanding that the information was taken from family bibles. I’ve thrown in a few that are popular now, too (to show how what’s old is new again). Here goes:

I’m posting this now as I am entering from my phone and don’t want to lose anything. I’ll add more in the comments section.
Are there any names that you are seriously interested in? Any surprises? What do you find utterly unusable?
