As I go through the Top 100 girl names from the late 1800s and early 1900s, I notice quite a few are the feminine form of male names. A big difference from the current trend of unisex names. Most of those feminine form names have disappeared from the top in favor of names that either are unisex or were originally male names. Take a look:

We all know of the trend toward unisex names. I just thought it was interesting to see the "masculine" preference change from a form of a masculine name to the actual masculine (or unisex) name.
How do you feel about the change in preference? Are there any feminine form names you wish would return to the Top 100?
