About this list

Crocs were once one of the least fashionable kinds of shoes you could wear, but now they’re totally cool. Croc Names follow the same trend: so crusty and uncool that they might just begin feel fresh for babies.

Not quite cosy grandparent names, and not quite vintage either, Croc names include options like Gladys, Ethel, Archibald, and Virgil, along with Melba, Joyce and Rodney.

Clunky Croc names were among Nameberry's Baby Name Trends Predictions for 2025.
