Recent records show the
names of LaVerne, Oswald,
Rudolph, snd Percival, have
been attached to 1924, Indianapo-
lis babies.
One boy was named Asarene,
the last word in name evolution.
For girls, compound names
have struck a sudden popularity.
AS a result we have Frances
Delight, Mary Margaret, Rose
Mary, Ross Anna, Bonnie-Lou,
Mary-Agnes. For single titles,
Betty and Annabelle have a
number of followers.
But in spite of the passing
years, certain names for both
boys and girls remain. Every
genera ton will have its quota
Of JOINS, Williams, Roberts and
James. Every year will continue
to see Ruth, Mary and Helen in
favor as girls names.
These names are something
generations can not erase.
