Where Are They Now? - 1911 #41-50

Elmer Fudd via Wikipedia

We are halfway there! I am going through the top 100 names of 1911 and seeing where they are now. Does the "100 year rule" apply more to the names in the top 50 or bottom 50? We'll see!

You can read and see links to the previous groups here.

48 Pearl - #814 and rising (after falling out of the Top 1000 for 20 years)
49 Eleanor - #150 and rising (after rising to #25 and then falling to #686)
50 Myrtle - fell off the Top 1000 after 1965

Charlie and Leo are the stars of the boy group. Leo will probably see time in the top 100 again in the coming years. Andrew is a timeless Biblical name that will probably stay in the top 100. Among the girl names, Elsie fell out the Top 1000 from 1976 through 2004, reappearing in 2005 at #924 and rising over 400 spots in 6 years. It will keep making strides I'm sure.  Eva and Eleanor are also making strong comebacks, with Pearl returning to the Top 1000 in 2007 and beginning to rise again as well.

I have a friend who recently named his daughter Viola after a grandmother. Love it. Would you like to see any of the other names make a new showing?
