Fantastic Names From The Past: 1923-1968 Fantastic Names Roundup!

Over the past few months, I've come across many fantastic names in old yearbooks and college course materials, but I didn't have enough for an entire blog post. But when the years are united -- behold the range of fantasticness! From the roaring twenties (R.I.P., y'all) to the swinging sixties (happy retirement, folks!) these people had great names -- and I can only hope they got to live corresponding great lives.
