About Retro
A term associated with bygone fashions and styles, differing from vintage in that it's usually related to the more recent past — think 70s and 80s. As a word name, its got those cool, jaunty sounds of Rhett, Rex, Rio, and Jethro, and is linked to being "fashionably old-fashioned", nostalgic but in a playful, spirited kind of way.
Rarely used as a given name — though we've seen it used on at least one Berry Baby! — with choices like Vintage, Trendy, Fancy, Avant, and Boheme being used, perhaps Retro will gain more attention in the future.
Pronounced RET-roh.
