Boy
Mose
As a boy's name, Mose is understood to mean "drawn out (of water)". It is not as common as it was in the 1920s, though it has not disappeared. Today, it is seldom chosen in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
