Classic Rock Baby Names

Classic rock baby names recall the movers and groovers of 20th-century music. The classic rock era — typically defined as the 1960s-1990s — serves up plenty of inspiration for modern baby names. They may be related to rock-and-roll songs, or have ties to classic rock bands or musicians, such as Presley and Hendrix.

Along with Presley and Hendrix, other classic rock baby names in the US Top 1000 include Cecilia, Gloria, Jagger, Jett, Journey, Lennon, Nash, and Valerie. Among the rising stars are Axl, Bowie, Jethro, and Ziggy.
