Fantastic Names From The Past: Early 1960s Edition

We're back with even more fantastic names -- straight out of yearbooks of old! 

Well, semi-old. These yearbooks are from 1961-1964, so many of these people could still be alive and kicking.


Although maybe just with slightly less pep nowadays.

Born between 1942 and 1948, these former teens mainly bore the names popular in their time -- Gene, Barbara, Jack, Rick, Jim, Sherry, Carl, Sue, Peggy, Gordon, et al.

But some of them had parents who had a more artistic sense -- and/or a sense of humor.

Let's give a shout out to those kids... the ones with these fantastic names.
