180+ old fashioned baby names that are making a comeback (and we love #13)

Old-fashioned or 'vintage' baby names are a great choice for parents who want a name that is unique but has a sense of history and meaning.

Classic old-fashioned baby names like Olivia and Stanley are riding high in the most popular baby names charts, as more parents draw inspiration from the past when naming their little ones. If you're looking for something different though, check out our selection of unusual baby names, take a tip from the Med with our Italian baby names, or choose something modern and fresh from the best unisex baby names list.

Baby naming expert Sherri Suzanne understands the appeal, noting vintage names often feel fresh again after a few generations."As they say, 'What’s old is new again'  - the names of our peers and our parents can feel stale, while names from 100 years ago may seem fresh and ready to be taken down and dusted off." Stephanie Lowe, Goodto.com Family Editor, agrees: “I adore old-fashioned names like Cecily and Pearl. They have such nostalgic charm yet also feel classy and elevated. Many parents choose these names to pay homage to grandparents or favourite historical figures.”

"Choosing a vintage name that has been out of circulation is a way to seem original or creative without being too audacious," says Sherri. "It can be an unexpected choice but not an unfamiliar one. Old-fashioned baby names also have a history. Over time, many have taken on charming qualities that parents admire. Names like Aurelia may seem romantic, while Atticus feels bold."

If you’re ready to go back in time to find an old-fashioned baby name for your little one, we’ve got some ready to make a comeback, as well as those that have never really gone away.
