Victorian, Edwardian and Titanic Baby Names (Old Fashioned Names) Victorian Era Names, A Writer's Guide. Circa 1840's-1890's Being a compilation drawn from old census and vital statistic records. A large part of creating a good set of characters in fiction writing is giving your imaginary populace good names.

The right name resonates on the tongue and lingers in the mind, as just the right "fit" for who that heroic - or despicable - person was.
