Our Favorite Vintage Baby Name Ideas
If you're like me, you've probably had a running list of baby names since you were 16. You want a name for your baby that is unique enough that they won't have to choose between going by their actual name, or a nickname at school, but classic enough that it will never go out of style and that they'll be able to grow into. Well, that's why I love vintage baby names. They're perfect for any age, and kids the same age probably won't have the same name as them. We've put together a list of our favorite classically vintage baby names to help you find a name you love. We hope you find one that works for your sweet babe!
GIRL NAMES:
- Margo - When I hear this name, I just think of a strong, independent woman who's going to change the world.
- Molly
- Dorothy - The Wizard of Oz was my favorite movie growing up so I might be a little bit biased but such a cute name! Plus, she'll always have a go-to Halloween costume!
- Annie - I love nicknames as full names, but you could totally name your little girl something like Elizabeth or Annabell, and call her Annie!
- Lucy
- Alice - Are you kidding me?? Too cute! Again, with the built in Halloween costume!
- Louise
- Mabel - This is probably one of the more old fashioned names on this list, but just picturing a little newborn baby named Mabel makes me want to go out and buy baby clothes!
- Nora
- Eleanor
- Jane - Jane is that nice girl in Kindergarten that shares her crackers with you at snack time.
- Sophie
- Caroline - This name literally means beautiful and your little girl will feel so special when the song "Sweet Caroline" comes on at sporting events.
- Ruth - I love this name and would probably use the nickname Ruthie... can you think of a cuter name??
BOY NAMES:
- Ezra - Boy names are hard for me but Ezra has been on my list for years. It's the perfect amount of classic and modern.
- Henry
- George
- Charlie - My grandfathers name is Charles so this name has always been on my list as a nod to my grandpa.
- Theodore - Teddy? So cute!
- James
- Oliver - Again, the perfect amount of classic and modern!
- Sebastian
- Milo - I unfortunately can't use this name because I have a dog named Milo... but I think it would be perfect for a little boy.
- Atticus
