“ Hayes, Lachlan, Palmer, Soren, Sterling and Theodore,….”
I knew a Teddy growing up. But those other names are not what I would think of as”traditional.”
John, James, Robert, Richard, Elizabeth, Susan, Mary, William….those are what I would call traditional “American” names.
But, at least I can pronounce the ones they are using. And that is a plus. And…in the end they will declare themselves “BIG Balz” at some point anyway.
Mary, sister of Robert, waving!
But Bob wrecked the trend. Instead of an east coast family surname turned into middle name, he gave all his kids names starting with the same letter as his wife’s name. Then he couldn’t remember them apart and started calling the kids by birth order number.
Thaddeus or the list is incomplete.
A lot of those trad names are heard south of Mason/Dixon.
Bet they have more Kids as well.
Those are NOT (the op) “traditional” American names, your list is Vermont. I would add Joseph, David, Charles, Kathleen, Catherine, Anne. Good Christian names.
Charles, Thomas, Christopher, Richard, Andrew, Matthew, Christine, Patricia, Ruth, Judith, Helen...
