Baltimore couple Colleen and Tony Serra are obsessed with baseball.
They’ve attended every Orioles home opener since 2010. They got engaged at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. And they held their wedding reception at the Camden Club, located inside the Baltimore & Ohio railroad warehouse at Camden Yards.
Their first child, a son, was named Camden.
And their second child, a daughter born this past June, was named YardleyRuth — Yardley for Camden Yards, and Ruth for Baltimore-born Babe Ruth.
(If the baby had been a boy, he would have been named Cole after the University of Maryland’s Cole Field House.)
Tuesday’s post about the Victorian-style Tylney Hall Hotel reminded me of a list of Victorian-era names that I’ve had bookmarked forever.
The list was created by amateur genealogist G. M. Atwater as a resource for writers. It contains names and name combinations that were commonly seen in the U.S. from the 1840s to the 1890s. Below is the full list (with a few minor changes).

Turns out the sparsely populated Canadian territory — which is next door to Alaska, larger than California, and home to only about 34,000 people — releases baby name rankings that cover 5 years at a time. So let’s roll the five most recent lists (i.e., 25 years of popular names) into a single post, shall we?
According to the Yukon Bureau of Statistics, these were the most popular baby names in the territory over the last quarter century…
From 2011 to 2015, the top baby names in Yukon were Ava and Liam:
These were the most popular baby names in the English borough of Hartlepool in 2012:
Boys
Girls
1. Charlie (4th in England/Wales) [tie] 1. Tyler (21st) [tie] 3. Jack (also 3rd) 4. Harry (1st) 5. Oliver (2nd) 6. Joshua (11th) 7. James (10th) 8. Isaac (30th) 9. Noah (14th) 10. Cole (151st)
The Hartlepool list is very different from the overall England and Wales list. One reason for this might be Hartlepool’s notably high rate of teen pregnancy. Younger mothers are a bit more likely to go for trendier, less traditional baby names.
