This is a great post! I have no idea however of which names were popular in [name_f]Italy[/name_f] in 1924 but if someone has links for me I would be glad. I feel like most of my names fit the time line though:

[name_f]Perla[/name_f], [name_f]Gisella[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], Fridaā€¦

my eldest sonā€™s name is augustus theodore, but we usually call him gus. heā€™s 7 years old, and oh heā€™s a spirited one! so full of vim and vigor, but such a big heart. he loves to be in the backyard constructing forts out of anything he can get his hands on. gus has such a big imagination ā€“ heā€™s forever embarking on adventures, armed with naught but a wooden sword and a bucket for a helmet. he just loves to be with his little friends, and thereā€™s a real sense of camaraderie amongst his band of merry adventurers. iā€‹ā€‹ā€™ve no doubt heā€™ll leave an indelible mark on all those he meets, just as he has on our humble household.

my second born is my only daughter ā€“ five-year-old dottie. her full name is dorothy opal, and we meant it to be a double name, but she has a neighbor named dorothy who she doesnā€™t get along with. therefore, she insists on being called dottie. although not what was intended, itā€™s a sweet name and it fits her well. dottie is a whirlwind of imagination and charm. sheā€™s quite the little princess, often found twirling in her fanciful dresses and regaling us with tales of knights and fairies. she just loves to build with the wooden blocks her daddy made her, and iā€™m always thoroughly impressed by her creativity. sheā€™s quite the little mother to her younger brother as well.

my youngest bundle of joy is remington wilbur ā€œremy.ā€ even at three, heā€™s already full of energy and mischief. but heā€™s so darling! whether heā€™s toppling over stacks of books or galloping around the house on his imaginary steed, he keeps us on our toes with his adventurous spirit. amidst all the chaos, thereā€™s a sweetness to him that simply melts my heart. remyā€™s never without his beloved blue bunny, dot, named after his big sister. he loves to cuddle with me, even with my big pregnant belly!

speaking of which, iā€™m expecting my fourth child soon. the baby should be arriving in the next two months!

hello! my name is margaret and i am a mother of six lovely children.
-the eldest is james robert. he is 17 and is often found at the railroad with his father now that he is old enough.
-elizabeth shirley ā€œlissyā€ is 15. she is all about reading and learning. sheā€™s hoping to go into high school next year. when sheā€™s not reading or learning, sheā€™s often found outside watching her younger siblings.
-the twins, rose virginia and ruth florence, are 12. they are often found exploring outside, climbing trees, playing along the river, or laying in fields watching the clouds. while they do argue, (as siblings tend to do) they are each others best friend.
-charles george ā€œcharlieā€ is 9 and he, similar to the twins, is often outside, most likely covered in mud and river water. he loves to spend time with his friends outdoors.
-Little miss princess, frances omelie ā€œfrankieā€ is 5. she is our little girly-girl. at this point she doesnā€™t love the nickname ā€œfrankieā€ and has been trying to get us to stop, but we never remember.

i hope all of you are well!

we welcomed our newest addition on april 17th, and sheā€™s a beautiful healthy baby girl! her name is ruby adelaide. we all love her dearly, and each of the children has a different view on ruby.

now-eight-year-old gus loves her. he wants to be involved in everything - from playing with her, to dressing her, to holding her when i am busy in the kitchen. itā€™s quite darling to watch! however, he tends to get carried away and forgets that sheā€™s only a baby. we have to remind him often to be gentle when playing with her and to sit down when he holds her!

dottie also loves to care for ruby, and she doesnā€™t love that gus also likes to be the babyā€™s caretaker. there have been several times when we had to discipline her for trying to pull ruby away from gus as if she were a toy! it would be alarming, except sweet dottie isnā€™t very strong so ruby has never been hurt by it. besides those few instances, sheā€™s very good with her and is quite the little mother!

remy on the other hand, is not nurturing. heā€™s fascinated by ruby, and he loves to play with her, but he doesnā€™t understand why she canā€™t catch the ball when he throws it at her! no matter how much we try to explain, he just doesnā€™t understand. the poor guy is definitely feeling a bit of jealousy, as heā€™s sought out attention from both me and theodore, my husband, a lot more than usual.

despite the adjustments and occasional challenges, our household feels even more complete with little ruby adelaide. watching each of my children interact with her in their own unique ways fills my heart with joy and gratitude. as we navigate the joys and trials of parenthood with our growing brood, i canā€™t help but marvel at the love that binds us all together.
