Picking a name for your tiny human can be a daunting task. You want a name you will love forever and a name your child will grow into and love too.
Reading through baby name lists are a great way to spark some ideas and inspiration. I loved reading through baby name lists while I was expecting our daughter.
I’ve gathered some uncommon, old-fashioned names that are ready for a come back. Thankfully, baby names are pretty much free reign right now. You don’t have to worry as much about unusual names because your child will likely have a classmate named “Grape” anyways. 😄 No offense intended to the Grapes out there.
Most of these names are not ones you hear everyday making them a great unique option for your child. There are a few on this list that are becoming a bit more popular, such as Henry. But, it’s still a sweet vintage name for your little guy.
If you click on the name, it will take you to the name on Nameberry so you can learn more about the name, such as meaning and popularity.
