I know I say it a lot, but I'm amazed at how much names can change over time. While a few of our most popular names haven't changed much in the centuries (or decades...or less) since they were coined, many are quite old, and practically unrecognizable from their original forms.
This is mostly a "just for fun" post, but who knows?, maybe we'll find some usable alternatives to popular names. ;) See if you can guess them all!
