13 vintage baby names that we would love to see make a comeback

These are too good to be forgotten about.

10 adorable Roald Dahl-inspired baby names that are seriously cute

We feel you, parents-to-be.

Finding the perfect baby name can be pretty darn daunting, and often, there is a fine line between a name that is unique and a name that will make your tot the subject of classroom ridicule.

Which is why we think vintage names are pretty much the perfect compromise.

Why? Because no-one can say these aren’t actually names, and yet, in recent years, they haven’t been so widely used that your child will run the risk of having to share his moniker with half his class in school.

So while these names might not be topping the trend charts right now, we think they are all sorts of worthy of a comeback:

1. Cordelia

For your baby girl.

2. Lowell

For your baby boy.

3. Margot

For your baby girl.

4. Arthur

For your baby boy.

5. Aurelia

For your baby girl.

6. Clement

For your baby boy.

7. Mabel

For your baby girl.

8. Leonard

For your baby boy.

9. Clara

For your baby girl.

10. Otis

For your baby boy.

11. Selma

For your baby girl.

12. Samuel

For your baby boy.

13. Billie

For your baby girl.
