18 beautiful vintage baby names that stand the test of time

 Due this year?

Then, chances are, you’re probably thinking about what to call your little one (unless you’ve already found that perfect moniker, of course).

It can be tricky enough to do, after all.

You may want it to be unique, but not so unique that they end up spelling it out for the rest of their lives. At the same time, you may not want them to be sharing a name with half the class.

And you’ll probably want it to match up with your surname, too.

For years, parents have been getting more and more creative when it comes to naming their children. Mostly thanks to the ever-growing list of sources of inspiration.

Their favourite Marvel movies; TV shows (like Game of Thrones); seasons; foods and hobbies have all been scoured in an effort to find that perfect moniker for their little one.

But sometimes there’s nothing quite like the classics.

The folks at Nameberry have rounded up a list of cool vintage baby names – and there are so many choices to pick from.
