Here is a list of baby names I put together that have an antique, vintage feel, but are still very useable today, and dare I say, cool:
Powerhouse Museum Collection
There’s a magical kind of name that feels vintage and classic without sounding old-fashioned or dated. Parents search far and wide for names like these and with good reason. The names in this group are charming and stylish…at least that’s my opinion. What do you think?

What sounds “old-fashioned” is probably a matter of taste. What names would you add to or take off this list? Post a comment and let us know.

Great list! I like old-fashioned names, too. In fact, I have a daughter named Charlotte, and a daughter named Lila due in December.
Congrats on Lila in December! What an adorable name! I’m glad you liked this list — I’m a huge fan of the old-fashioned/vintage names. There’s something so charming about them.
For the record, Charlotte is one of my all-time favorite names!
We are having our third child in February, a baby girl. My husband and I love vintage names with great meanings. This time, we are struggling a bit. The baby’s middle name will be Constance. We do not want to pick a name that is too popular. Any ideas?
