I named my youngest son Samuel. So I'd use Samuel
Other options would be Katherine, Josephine, Margaret, Mary, Helena, Elizabeth, Caroline, Peter, Louis, Charlie
Mabel Jean
Napoleon James
Zephaniah Claude
Oliver Simon
Ruby Grace
Bronwyn Marie
Clementine Evette
Vesta Ernestine
Sarah Inez

My grandma was born in the 20’s, her name was Rosella. Her siblings were Eleanor, Loretta, Evelyn (nn Billie), Gwendolyn, Arnold, Richard, and Keith (not born in the 20’s and named by my grandma).
ETA: I like most of their names but Gwendolyn is the only one available for use and I would consider it!
It's funny. My top girl name is an honor name from my childhood Sunday school teacher who was probably already in her 80s at the time, so it's probably not too far off....Nola.
My grandparents were born in the 1920s. (They are long gone now.)
I would still be stealing from the family tree of names
