Vintage Baby Names

Vintage baby names are among the most fashionable today, for girls as well as boys. Along with vintage names such as Olivia and Emma, Noah and Elijah leading the popularity list, the US Top 100 includes such vintage names for girls as Alice, Grace, and Penelope, and vintage boy names Henry, Julian, and Wyatt.

Unique retro names gaining visibility include such new old choices as Ophelia and Posey for girls, Cassian and Linus for boys.

Choosing a vintage name can give you the best of all worlds, drawing on classic inspiration with modern style. Vintage baby names are found on the popularity lists of a hundred years ago and then often faded from sight, only to be revived for the new generation of babies.
