Nifty Names: How Vintage Are You Willing To Go?

Nifty Names: How Vintage Are You Willing To Go? | Name News | Scoop.it

"If you're a fan of those vintage, old-lady names, but aren't afraid to go far, far beyond the day-to-day retro, then the following list is for you! Here are the names for the brave and the determined, those who aren't afraid to name their little girl Bertha or their son Elmer...those who would rather blaze the baby-naming trails than trail in their wake."

Clare's insight:

Do you like your names clunky and Germanic or extravagantly classical?  Then look no further.  Some more random thoughts: will Norbert ever make a comeback?  Here's Annis again, hooray!  I'd also recommend Hilda for this list, except that I'm guarding it jealously.  And Cuthbert's so vintage he's there twice :P
