What names do you think are ready for a comeback? From vintage names, to biblical names, to traditional... any names that have gone out of style and you think its time that they came back! Figured I'd spark up a topic that everyone could put their own unique name opinions into!


Personally, I am ready for names like Agnes, Mabel, Harriet, etc to all come back in!!! Though, I personally think Mary and Bertha and their friends can all stay in the past But I'd so love to walk into a nursery and hear ladies calling out to little Aggie or Hattie!!


What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions!

[Peacebewithyou]

i totally agree with you ( although i quite like Mary myself )

here are a few names that i would really like to come back

Agnes
Harriet ( i know a few people called this)
Edith
Sybil ( you will proberbly know from my previous post that i am in love with this name)
Etta
Mary
Josephine
Marjorie ( i think it is quite cute)
Margaret
Frances
Theodora


i really dont mind with boys because vintage names have always been used in my opinion


do you like any of the names ?

[-Regan<3]

I totally think Margaret should come back. I adore the nn Maggie.
I also love Nellie, Louise/Louisa nn Lulu (Guilty pleasure name) and Lydia

As for boys I can't think of any, all the boys names I like are still being used today.

Josephine/a
Margaret (Maggie )
Mabel
Muriel
Edith
Helena
Matilda (Tilly)

could be cute.

For boys,
