Word Names from 1912

Word names are always an interesting bunch. How do parents choose a certain word for their child's name? Does the meaning of the word matter or is it just the sound of the word they like? No matter how the word is chosen, it needs to be done in a way that considers what the word stands for. We know the current popular word names consist of Grace, Faith, Lily, Hunter, Mason and Parker, but I was curious what words were popular as names 100 years ago. So, I went through the Top 1000 from 1912 and picked out the names that are also words, but not including any spelling variations. There are some very interesting monikers on this list...
