Names that Peaked in 1881

Asbury Park, a quirky town on the Jersey Shore, was named for Francis Asbury, the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Springsteen fans will likely be among those most drawn to Asbury as a first name; the Boss's first album was called "Greetings from Asbury Park."

For football fans who have decided Peyton has become too feminine. Or they could look to brother Eli for inspiration.

A rarely-used variant on Irving, perhaps best known as the surname of basketball player Julius "Dr J." Erving. This name is waiting in style limbo for a vintage revival of names with a strong "er" sound.

Vintage short form of Bridget, very rarely still heard in Irish Catholic communities.
