Girl
Eleanor
Popular in the early 1900s, then eclipsed for decades, before rebounding strongly in the 21st century, partly aided by its association with Eleanor Roosevelt. It peaked back in the 1920s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is a name most people have come across.
