Baby Name Tuesday: Week 5

Hey! What's your favorite baby naming trend? Do you even know what that means? Well a baby name trend is basically a popular streak that has a certain style of names. Like Biblical names (Rebekah Jedidiah), mythological names (Athena, Orion), and funky hipster names (Clementine,  Magnus). But, right now vintage names are in and I LOVE them!

Unlike vintage clothing, I love vintage names! The girls' names are feminine, fresh, and delicate, while the boys' are masculine, classic, and are hidden gems. Here are some of my favorites!

Warning: the list below may contain your great-grandparents names.

Girls
Vivian- means "life," Latin name
Evelyn- means "desired," English name
Minnie- means "resolute protection," German name
June-  Latin month name
Clara- means "bright, clear," Latin name
Josephine- means "Jehovah increases"
Lillian- means "lily, a flower," English from Latin name
Genevieve- means "woman of the people," French from a German name

Boys
Leo- means "lion," Latin name
Charlie- means "free man," English name
Victor- means "conqueror," Latin name
Everett- means "brave as a wild boar," English variation on a German name
Henry- means "estate ruler," German name
Benjamin- means "son of the right hand," Hebrew name
Theodore- means "gift of God," Greek name

So, what are some of your favorite vintage names? You can see the full list here.

  4. I'm mostly into unique or different names. I have a whole list of ones that I've thought of or have found.
    I think that the names Azia Cascade and Cassamar Esperanza are pretty. I really like all of your vintage names too!!! I think that Josephine is pretty! Oh, another name that I have thought of is Emory. I just think it sounds... different.
