Most of us name lovers, even those who are fans of new, cutting-edge monikers, also have an affinity for names of the past. But which part of the past? There are so many possibilities!
Ancient names like Cassius?
Medievals like Isolde?
Puritan names like Prudence?
Frilly Victorian Valentine names ?
Gay 90s nicknames such as Millie and Minnie and Archie?
The Downton Abbey World War I era of Violets and Ediths and Coras?
Midcentury/Mad-Men-type faves–Roger, Sally, Peggy?
The more recent past when names like Amy and Amanda, Jason and Joshua ruled?
So this is our Question of the Week: What’s your favorite variety of vintage? Is there one period of time whose names call out to you?
