 | It was an era of flappers, gangsters, speakeasies and Model T automobiles; and the names were just as spirited as the times. They included jewels, months of the year, flowers, and anything short-and-sweet. Here is a little inspiration from the 1910s and 20s. These baby names are brimming with life and personality and are just a little bit vintage. |

My favorite name is Lillian.
ReplyDeletei love your blog
ReplyDeleteBorn in 1910, my grandmother's name was Hazel. Good to see it was on the list. I always considered it an odd name. But apparently I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteI really like the name Mabel, I'm really considering it when I have a baby girl.
ReplyDeleteMabel is cute, I think it's due for a comeback. :)
ReplyDeletei like both hazel and mabel
ReplyDeleteI like the name Hazel, i find it just crazy enough to like. But that's just me, always been a sucker for things that are out-dated.
ReplyDeletewow both of my girls name areon this list Rubi and Vivian.
ReplyDeleteWe just named our baby Lillian, and we absoultely love it!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage names they carry such class. Lillian used to be my favourite name I was suprised that Rose (which is now my favourite name) wasn't featured on the list. The majority of the names on the list are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI also like the name Theadora for a vintage name.
ReplyDeleteThank for suggesting these nice names. I like Rose it is a common name but its lovely.
ReplyDeleteI remember on the show Mad about you.. they names their baby mabel and said it stood for Mothers Always Bring Extra Love! too cute!
