Aaron Burr
Killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel in July of 1804 may have effectively ended Aaron Burr’s political career, but it didn’t dissuade American parents from continuing to name their baby boys “Aaron Burr.” (Which sounds best when said with a mouth full of peanut butter , of course.)
Of the dozens of Burr namesakes I spotted in the records, a handful were born as early as the 1790s, while Burr was representing the state of New York in the U.S. Senate. But most came along in the 1800s, either while Burr was serving as U.S. Vice President (1801-1805) under Thomas Jefferson or in the years that followed.
Some examples:
Aaron Burr Harrison , b. 1796 in New Jersey
Aaron Burr Decker , b. 1798 in New York
Aaron Burr VanAuken , b. 1799 in New York
Aaron Burr Cooper , b. 1800 in New Jersey
Aaron Burr Tuthill , b. 1801 in New York
Aaron Burr Hays , b. 1802 in New York
He had a younger half-brother named Dewitt Clinton Hays.
Aaron Burr Thomson , b. 1803 in Pennsylvania
Francis Aaron Burr Hussey , b. 1805 in Maine
He had three younger brothers named Benjamin Franklin Hussey, George Granville Hussey, and Samuel Bancroft Hussey.
Aaron Burr Freeman, b. 1806 in Vermont
Aaron Burr Orndorff , b. 1807 in Kentucky
Aaron Burr Babcock, b. 1808 in Vermont
Aaron Burr Mallery, b. 1809 in Connecticut
Incidentally, I didn’t spot any namesakes from 1804 specifically…

SS Earl Dalhausie
Back when sea voyages were the only way to reach distant lands, many babies ended up being born aboard ships. And many of these ship-born babies were given names that reflected the circumstances of their birth. A good portion of them, for instance, were named after the ships upon which they were born.
I’ve gathered hundreds of these ship-inspired baby names over the years, and I think it’s finally time to post what I’ve found…

Do you think any of the ship names above work particularly well as human names?
Sources:
P.S. Hundreds of other babies have been named after ships that were making headlines (e.g., the Titanic , the Lusitania , the Andrea Doria ) around the time they were born.
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).
Which female name and male name do you like best?

Leone Sextus Tollemache
The Rev. Ralph William Lyonel Tollemache-Tollemache (1826-1895), a clergyman in the Church of England, gave his fifteen children some bizarre (and bizarrely long) names.
Here are the names of the children he had with his first wife, Caroline:
Lyonel Felix Carteret Eugene Tollemache (b. 1854)
Florence Caroline Artemisia Hume Tollemache (b. 1855)
Evelyne Clementina Wentworth Cornelia Maude Tollemache (b. 1856)
Granville Grey Marchmont Manners Plantagenet Tollemache (b. 1858)
Marchmont Murray Grasett Reginald Stanhope Plantagenet Tollemache (b. 1860)
And here are the names of the children he had with his second wife, Dora:
Dora Viola Gertrude Irenez de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1869)
Mabel Ethel Helmingham Huntingtower Beatrice Blazonberrie Evangeline Vise de Lou de Orellana Plantagenet Saxon Toedmag Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1872)
Lyonesse Matilda Dora Ida Agnes Ernestine Curson Paulet Wilbraham Joyce Eugénie Bentley Saxonia Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1874)
Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1876)
His first fifteen initials spell “Lyonel the second.”
Lyona Decima Veronica Esyth Undine Cyssa Hylda Rowena Viola Adele Thyra Ursula Ysabel Blanche Lelias Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1878)
Leo Quintus Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1879)
Lyonella Fredegunda Cuthberga Ethelswytha Ideth Ysabel Grace Monica de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1882)
Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1884)
He was his father’s sixth son, hence “Sextus.” “Fraudatifilius” comes from the Latin phrase fraudati filius , meaning “son of the defrauded one.”
Lyonetta Edith Regina Valentine Myra Polwarth Avelina Philippa Violantha de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (b. 1887)
