New parents are currently showing that 'old-lady chic' and 'granddad cool' are now the way forward for their little tot’s moniker
And people are also starting to take inspiration from the 40s and 50s too, because they consider the names “safe, classy and not over-used”.
That is, for now.
Just like the clothes we wear, and the hairstyles we change, baby names come and go in cycles.
As BabyCenter mum Gemma reveals, the comeback of classic Hollywood-style names is to do with the ‘100-year rule’.
"Names that were popular 100 years ago seem to be the ones that are becoming popular now,” she explains.
"They were names closely associated with our grandparents' and great-grandparents' generations. I think that the comeback is partly due to people's associations with the names.
“Names that were popular in our parents' generation - Roger, Carol - we still associate heavily with them and find it hard to imagine a child with those names.”
So what are the popular names that are making a comeback?
