Fun Flappers

I did an entry like this years ago, but while doing research on Betty Compson I was reminded of how amazing the names of characters were during the silent film era. Most of the crazy names were given to flappers, because who doesn't love a story about a flapper named Snuggles or Bubbles?

I present to you another list of actual character names from silent films. Some are actually kinda cool (Lizzie Goodnite), some sound like strippers (Satan Syne) and some sound like characters from the board game, Candy Land (Princess Vanilla and Mademoiselle Snowflake).

Enjoy reading through and if you find any future baby names on the list please let me know!

(Disclaimer: Not all of the pictures move)
