You know how you keep seeing flapper dresses in the shops now? Well they're coming back! And guess what. Baby Names from the 20s are too. They have been for a while and will undoubtely keep coming back.
Need Proof?
Olive is back in the top 1000. Julia Roberts named her starbaby
Hazel and SJP just had
Marion Loretta. And speaking of starbabies lets not forget about the growing popularity of
Violet.
Rose has become a staple middle name next to
Grace who has also hit the popularity stakes for first names.
Lillian and
Evelyn are now American favourites with their fellow top 100 members
Audrey and
Charlotte. And
Ruby is close on their tails sitting just outside the top 100.
All of these names are 1920's favourites.
Though you may be a little too late to use these if your are looking to stand out of the crowd we have plenty of other 20s favourites for you to choose from that are equally dazzling and are destined for a comeback. As a sucker for vintage names (I did name my son Edward) I
them (just perhaps not Fannie, Dorcas or Fairy). My faves are the
red.
