Name my characters baby!

I’m currently working on a novel that takes place in the 1950s. I’m toying with the idea of two of my characters having a baby.

What would you name [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Joyce[/name] and [name]Thatcher[/name] [name]Paul[/name]'s son or daughter? The names need to be something that would have been used at that time.
