If you are looking for names that were popular in the United States, the Social Security Administration tracks them by decade starting with the 1880s on their website. Here is a link: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/
In the late 1800's there was a medieval revival in architecture, fontography (most medieval fonts you know are 19th C), dress, painting, writing, and opera subjects (not the music, though). Think Pre-Raphaelites. This time it was accompanied by a revival of medieval names, especially for girls, like Hildegarde, Matilda, and Maude. When you have girls called Hildy and Tilly in the 1920's, they were born before 1915. Maude seems especially fin se siècle. Jonathan Winter's character Maude Frickert got her name as a way of giving her instant age.
The 1800's also saw the end of most of the New Names or Puritan virtue names. Some remain, mostly for girls: Faith, Hope, Charity, Joy, even Prudence. Mercy may be short for Mercedes. Chastity sometimes shows up. But the rest have vanished, except rarely. Tribulation was so popular it had its own nickname, Tribby or Tibby. Temperance, Freeborn, Fear-not, Love-God (Lovey for short) and the rest that you can see in Curiousities of Puritan Nomenclature.
You know how there was a fashion in the 1970's to name kids China and now there's a lot of Italian cities like Sienna? In the mid 1800's, round about the American Civil War, the country to name your girl after was India, and for some reason Tennessee got popular. Victoria Woodhull's sister was not the only Tennessee I've run into: there are lots of them in the first rolls of the Cherokee nation, too.
britishbabynames.com have some interesting data taken from parish registers for Baptism:
The source is a bit blogspammy for this sub, but they seem to be pulling from solid primary sources.
Okay, do you mean English-language personal names (inluding USA, Canada, Down Under) or England only, no Scotland, Wales, Ireland (which was part of UK 100-200 years ago).
