My Favorite Names of the Roaring '20s!

Hey everyone!
I thought I would do something different this week and talk about my favorite "old-fashioned" names. I chose to look at the top 200 names of the 1920's! I have gone through the list and chosen my favorites for girls. There are a total of 25. They are in order of rank in the 1920's. I have given the name, rank in the '20s, rank in 2011, origin and meaning. As always, meaning & origin come from nameberry.com.
Enjoy!
