Names listed by frequency
For these lists all variants of a single name have been counted together.
I have followed modern usage in treating Helen and Ellen as distinct names,
and likewise for Pierce and Peter. Similarly, I have distinguished a name
from its diminutives when modern practice does so. I have arbitrarily
assumed that all four people named Frances were women and that all 86
people named Francis were men. The second column gives the total frequency
of the names in the associated block both absolutely and as a percentage of
the whole. The third column does the same for the cumulative frequencies.
In each list I have also expressed as a percentage the frequency of each
name contributing at least 5 percent to the total.
