old lady baby names

Recycling is all sorts of trendy these days, and we think there is no need to stop at clothing or furniture when there are so truly fabulous vintage names out there for your brand new babies too.

Maybe you have an amazing granny in your life that you want to pay homage to, or maybe you just love the idea of a name with a bit of an historical twist, either way, here are 11 really great old-lady names that we predict are all about to make a serious comeback.

Edith

So, so chic.

Pearl

A true gem if ever there was one.

Evelyn

Evelyn actually means “wished-for child,” which, you know, is all sorts of sweet.

Ethel

We love the sound of Ethel, as the matter of fact.

Beatrice

Who wouldn’t want a little baby Bea?!

Florence

Call her Florrie for short!

Ruth

Or Ruthie, if you want something less serious.

Margaret

How sweet is little Maggie?!

Dorothy

We just can’t even with this one.

Hazel

Quite popular these days, but still super-cute.

Mabel

It’s the next “Hazel.” We’re calling it.
