Baby names from 1919 set to make a comeback in 2019
There are so many unique monikers out there these days that it’s easy to overlook some of the traditional baby names.
Nameberry has predicted that names that were once popular in 1919 will make a reappearance in 2019, in what they call the hundred-year rule of names being recycled.
“At the beginning of each new year, we like to take a century-long look back hoping to discover some lost names that could be perfect for today,” states the article on the website.
“And this year, we’ve found some particularly promising word names for boys, and nickname names for both genders.”
Baby names from 1919 are set to make a comeback in 2019
In 1919, the First World War was over and in the U.S. Prohibition went into effect. Singer Nat King Cole as well as actress Eva Gabor were born and U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt passed away.
Rights for women were coming into effect and literary works by Virginia Woolf and Thomas Hardy were popular.
The baby naming website has revealed its predictions for the most promising names in 2019 – many inspired from 1919.
