Antique Baby Names Back in Style

Vintage baby names have been on the rise for several years now, with some antique names climbing popularity lists and reaching the heights of style. Vintage revivals such as Theodora and Ambrose were among the fastest-rising names of the year.

Along with Theodora and Ambrose, other antique baby names in the US Top 1000 include Archie, Beatrice, Eliel, Flora, Harvey, Maisie, Sonny, and Willa. Antique O names are particularly on-trend, such as Olive, Opal, Otis, and Ozzy.

If you like vintage or classic baby names that have been in hiding for a few generations, one of these may appeal to you — but don't be surprised if you meet a lot of other babies with these historic names. View our collection of antique baby names back in style, below.
