10 baby boy names forgotten in time – but we think they deserve a second chance
Love the idea of a name not everyone else has for your baby?
Then you might have to look back in time.
Names, like trends in general, have a tendency to come back in fashion again if you leave it long enough, and these baby boy monikers, while not in the most popular lists right now, are bound for a comeback soon, we think.
Tell us – would you consider any of the following:
1. Denver
Old English name that means 'green valley.'
2. Hardy
Ever read the Hardy Boys books back in the day?
3. Orin
A variation of the Hebrew name Oren, which means 'pine tree.'
4. Conrad
An old German name that has already started climbing slowly in the popular lists again.
5. Edison
An Old English title that means "prosperity" and "wealth."
6. Rupert
You could call him Ru for short!
7. Alton
An old English name that actually means 'old town' – we reckon this one is a cool choice.
8. Wiley
This Scottish name is a take on the name William
9. Florian
Elegant and unusual, we are obsessed with this name.
10. Alvin
Alvin comes from the Old English Ælfwine which means "friend of the elves."
If you like any of these names, let us know in the comments on Facebook and Instagram.
