Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

In honor of the holiday, I thought I’d put together a list of Pilgrim names.

Specifically, these are the first names of all the people (passengers + crew) who traveled to the New World aboard the Mayflower in 1620, plus the number of people that had each name.

According to what we know, the most common names were John for males and Mary for females.

Disney has put out over sixty animated feature films, and many of these films have ended up popularizing particular baby names.

The best example of this is probably Ariel, which ranked among the top 100 girl names in the U.S. from 1990 to 1992 thanks to the success of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, which was released in November of 1989.

Here are dozens of other Disney character names that might make good baby names:
