I don’t know how close this is to the reality of what was popular at the time, but the names that come to mind for me are -
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lois[/name_f]
[name_u]Cleo[/name_u]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Caro[/name_u]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Vintage[/name_f] names with something zippy and/or ‘harsh’ about them. (Don’t mean that in a derogatory way, I love this type of name). There are obviously some that sound softer as well eg [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] but the above type is what I immediately think of.

Oh yes. I do love zippy and somehow harsh / strong names. Especially if they are vintage.

Me too. There’s a plethora of other names associated with this era that have the softer more vintage - cottagecore vibe, but I think of the harsher ones because I feel like they are characteristic of / peculiar to this era, unlike the cottagecore vibe ones which span several.
