Hi everyone! I am currently working on a story taking place in the 1860s- 1870s. I am looking for names for either gender. Here are some names I already have (these also all need middle names! I would love middle name suggests too) Thanks for your help!
Mercy
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_f]Sophronia[/name_f]
[name_m]Martin[/name_m]
[name_m]Emil[/name_m]

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]

Middle name ideas (based off of names I think sound like they fit in the time period, so not necessarily popular ones during that time):
Mercy [name_u]Louise[/name_u] / [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] / [name_m]Sampson[/name_m]
[name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] / [name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_m]Martin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] / [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_u]Grady[/name_u] / [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] / [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] / [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Eli[/name_u] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] / [name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] / [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] / [name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] / [name_f]Muriel[/name_f]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] / [name_m]Emil[/name_m]
I gave you two options for each, because there are so many possibilities. Also, any of these could be mismatched and put with different ones in different places, even putting some of the middle names as first names.
Other suggestions (based on the top 200 names in [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m] in 1860):

[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]

[name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
