175+ Vintage Baby Names That Will Never Go Out of Style
Vintage baby names continue to be a red-hot trend for modern parents. So many classic names that were popular in the early 20th century are coming back in the 2020s, and according to the Social Security Administration’s list, quite a few names continue to stay in the top 30 names throughout the past century.
Vintage names are so dang cool: they evoke a time period that we maybe lived through or wished to have seen. Did you know that if something is over 20 years old, it’s considered vintage? So, by that logic, the most popular names of the 2000s can also be considered vintage names. We know, it’s kinda crazy to think about.
Now, we got two huge lists for you: one that has the most popular baby boy and baby girl names of each decade, as told by the Social Security Administration’s list; and a list of vintage-inspired baby names with pretty cool histories behind them.
