My family and I are going to tell our favorite names from the 1880's post. Susanna Marie Boys: 1. Luther- I really love L names and I love the associations with Martin Luther, figure in the Protestant Reformation, and Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the Civil Rights Movement. Luther also has a nice meaning and it just sounds handsome to me. 2. Abner- It has an amazing meaning, "my father is light", you cannot get a much better meaning than that. It also sounds strong to me and I think you could use the nickname "Abe" for it. 3. Myron- I am not entirely sure why I love this name. It is easy to pronounce and spell and it sounds handsome. Girls: 1. Ida- I have loved this name for a long time, because Ida honors my Grammie. Her middle name is Idabel. 2. Roena- It sounds so unique and beautiful to me and I love the nickname "Ro". 3. Cleora- It has two possible, wonderful meanings. I have always liked Cleo, but it does not sound comp...
