These baby names are so cute.
If you’re expecting a baby soon then why not seek name inspiration from the 1980s? 40 years may have passed since the decade of shoulder pads, The Breakfast Club, and leg warmers, but ’80s-inspired baby names are reportedly growing in popularity.
We’ve gathered our favourite baby monikers from that decade and some of them are actually pretty sweet.
Traditional names like Matthew, James, and Robert were staples back in the 80s, and they’re becoming more popular today.
When it comes to baby girls, Elizabeth, Katie, and Emily were some of the most popular baby names and still feature in baby name lists today.
