Found this useful resource while working on the guest list of Chapter 4.

Found out that the variety of names mentioned was also referring to the Immigration Bill of 1924 (Hey, high school peeps who took mainstream history in S4 should have a rough idea =P). Yeah, so mainly there was an influx of immigrants from all around Europe, mainly Northwestern and Southeastern Europe (which explains names such as Mulready [Irish - First Wave of Immigration (1815 to 1860)] and Ulysses [Greece - Third Wave of Immigration (1880 to 1914)].

From the story:

Chapter 7, Page 136, Last Paragraph

"It was seven o’clock when we got into the coupe with him and started for Long Island. Tom talked incessantly, exulting and laughing, but his voice was as remote from Jordan and me as the foreign clamor on the sidewalk or the tumult of the elevated overhead."
