Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 3: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; January-June, 1899

The great vogue of Agnes and Alice, and to a lesser degree of Barbara and Cecilia, is explained by popular metrical legends. In the time of Charles I. Agnes has descended from the first place to the tenth, and Alice from the second to the sixth. Ann and Elizabeth now head the list, followed by Jane, Margaret, Mary, Alice, Isobel, Dorothy, and Ellen, while Sarah, now so popular, has already the seventeenth place, having only been introduced at the Reformation. Eliza beth came in with Elizabeth Woodville, and Anne with the queen of Richard II.
