I kinda like “Ham, Shem and Japheth” myself.
It’s really Jose.
It would be interesting to know if these names were standard across races.
My name isn’t on the list from either 1900 or today. And I find that interesting, because it seems there are a lot of guys around my age with the same first name as me (my name is Scot, by the way).
Interesting - my sons’ names are #1 & #2 in 1900. I must be old-fashioned.
