This baby name trend is set to rise in 2025

People set to become parents in 2025 are reportedly loving one baby name trend in particular.

Parents-to-be are stepping back in time by opting for more traditional names.

According to baby name consultant Colleen Slagen, old-fashioned baby names are back in style.

She said to expect a lot more old-fashioned names from new parents in 2025.

She revealed: “Look out for Margot in 2025. People are gravitating toward feminine, classic-sounding names like Margot, Eloise and Vivian.”

According to a report from JoJo Maman Bebe, Slagen revealed: “I think we’ll start seeing more traditional male names being chosen for girls such as Drew, Noah, and Dylan.”

“For girls, Louise, Dorothy, Mabel, and Maisie are on the rise, and for boys, it’s Arthur, Archie, and Howard. Judith and Reggie have also recently been used.”

The top old-fashioned baby names making a comeback in 2025 include:

  • Margot
  • Eloise
  • Vivian
  • Drew
  • Noah
  • Dylan
  • Louise
  • Dorothy
  • Mabel
  • Maisie
