Americans love anything vintage. Vintage furniture, retro swimsuits, old-school music or vintage artwork—the older, the better.
As it turns out, Americans also love classic, old-school baby names. Whether today’s parents are paying homage to their ancestors, or just trying to be hipster, classic names are making a comeback.
Using data from the Social Security Administration and the United States Census Bureau, the experts at MooseRoots were able to find 30 classic names that have come back into popularity over the last few years. Specifically, they looked for names that:
- Ranked in the top 200 before 1930
- Ranked outside of the top 200 between 1930 and 1980
- Ranked in the top 200 again after 1980
If you’ve been on a hopeless hunt for a unique baby name, take a look back in time. Here are 30 classic baby names from the past that have resurged in popularity.
