My Mom's name was Ethel and my fathers middle name was Aloysius. Often wondered how I wound up with a "normal" name like James. Never thought of asking them when they were alive.

Since the name "James" appears in the New Testament (as a cognate of "Jacob"), expect #37 to come along and post something bizarre about it . . .

That's close to the NYPD codes except in the NYPD "L" is Larry not Lincoln, "O" is Oscar not ocean, and "Y" is yellow not young. I think all the others are the same but I'm out 18 years so I might have missed one or two.

And even so, it would be considered a normal name because some sitcom in the 50s had someone with that name?

It would have been considered a country bumpkin name. Those tend to be decades behind, so it would have been a common name a century ago.

Or longer.

I've looked at old census records in upstate areas that were very fundamentalist (there was a "Church of Pilgrim Holiness" with a decent sized congregation maybe into the 1960s or so). The really old fashioned biblical names went out of fashion by 1870. The grandfather of the guy I knew, named Pardon, was born circa 1850. And as an adult he was generally called Pardee (I'm guessing because Pardon was too quaint by then).

Very popular show. Ran from 1962-1971. In those 9 years, the name became familiar and accepted. Whats "normal" is in the mind of the beholder.

I think the reruns are still on MeTv. Check it out. When America was on fire in the 60s, this is what the masses sought out for comic relief.
I can still hear granny yell "Jed, Jed come quick...thar some varmints in the toilet" or words to that effect!:)

Years ago,(starting in 1953) the US (National Hurricane Center)made up the list. Later on, it became international(World Meteorological Organization)
Tropical storms don't recognize borders or languages, or customary names in one country or language. The name lists are on a 6 year cycle, and after 6 years, start at the beginning, year 1. You can see the lists for each year on the NOAA site.
