Question: Know Any Old, Attractive Names!?
I'm writing a story with characters born in very different years and I'm having trouble finding sites with any good names i can use!. I don't want the name to me TOO unique or difficult to pronounce- this would take away from my story!. But i also don't want any names such as: John, William, Joseph, Mary etc!.!.!. soo here are the genders and birth year of each character:

Male- 1973
Female- 1925
Female- 1897
Male- 1849
Male- 1739
