APPENDIX VII.

Christian-names, with variants.

The spelling is that of the period. The variants are arranged in alphabetical order, except that the form now in use has, where it occurs, been taken as the head-word. Names which differ only in the use of j for i, or y for i, and vice versa, have not been treated as variants. Parentheses enclosing a letter indicate that it is sometimes present and sometimes absent.
