What
are the most classic baby names of all time? The list of names to
the right are the only names that have appeared in the top three spots
of any year from 1900 to 2001. These by far would be considered the most classic
baby names in America. They are in no particular order.
The data comes from a sampling of Social Security card applications for births
in America for the past 100 years.
As you can see, the most popular girl names have changed with the times much
more than the boys names have. These twelve boys names have been passed down from
one generation to the next and it doesn't look as though they will stop any time
soon. "The
first baby born on the Mayflower during its voyage to the New World was named
- Oceanus Hopkins. The second child born after the ship set anchor was named Peregrine
White."
