Fantastic Names From The Past: 1901-1902 Edition


120 years ago, Washington State University was called the Washington Agricultural College and School Of Science. Personally, I prefer the former name. It's almost as fantastic as the names of some of the students who attended the school circa 1901-1902!


Problematic yearbook name... not so fantastic.


But before we get to the fantastic student names, I have one question to ask...


Why did the children of the 1990s never get referred to as the Naughty-Ones? It's so delightfully absurd. We totally should've claimed it.

Oh well. 

Meanwhile, Grace Lula Coburn? Not a bad name at all. But it just isn't nearly as fantastic as these ones...


Solon Shedd

Walter Dibble Plough

Eleazor Darrow

Roscoe E. Swank


Charlotte Malotte

Cleo B. Corner

Fred Ford Flanders

Beattie Cordiner


Leah Bean

Elsworth Thorp

Ethel Espy

Guy Sargent



Sofus B. Nelson

Adam Duncan Dunn

Weltha Webster

Lucyle Hogaboam

Milton P. McCroskey


And my choices for the top 3 most fantastic names...


Charles Centennial Carlisle

J. Sweetheart McDonald

and (read it aloud...)

John Storrs Cotton

Brilliant.


Well, congratulations kids of the early 20th century. 

Not that you're reading this... since I assume, if you are still alive, it's only because you're this guy...


Please don't be that guy.
