In honouring of upcoming 2020…
What are your favourite names from the 1920s? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think they are due a revival?
Which 20s inspired name would you give a boy or girl born in 2020?
I’m going to choose [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] [name_u]Rex[/name_u] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
Thanks,

[name_m]Clyde[/name_m], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], or [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] for boys, [name_f]Lois[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] for girls
As combos, [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
There were so many great names in the 20s, but if I had to choose I’d go for [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
I would pick:
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Hilda[/name_f]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] and [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] & [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m]
I suppose [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m] is due a revival in the mid-2020s.
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_u]Rex[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] are my ultimate favourites
The 1920s really had some of the best names: [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Constance[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_u]Stanley[/name_u], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_u]Sidney[/name_u], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_m]Ralph[/name_m], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m].
I think this era is where the majority of my favourite names gained in popularity, but I think they’re my favourites due to their use within my family!
[name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Ethel[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Mildred[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Blodwen[/name_f], [name_f]Mona[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f].
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Archibald[/name_m], [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_m]Morris[/name_m], [name_m]Oswald[/name_m], [name_m]Clement[/name_m], [name_m]Enoch[/name_m], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], [name_m]Gwilym[/name_m], [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m], [name_m]Amos[/name_m], [name_m]Lancelot[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u].
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
I would love [name_f]Lois[/name_f] to make a comeback - such a great name that still seems too tied to Superman. [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] are wonderful names too.
I like a lot of boys names from this time but top 3 at the moment would be [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m].
I think a lot of the popular names of the 1920’s have already been recently revived, such as [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] & [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
I can see the following 1920’s inspired names making their way slowly back up charts in the next few years: [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_m]Forrest[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_u]Sidney[/name_u], [name_m]Dewey[/name_m], [name_m]Luther[/name_m], [name_m]Roland[/name_m] & [name_m]Victor[/name_m].
If I had to pick one for each gender to use on children tomorrow they’d be [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (these are based on top 50 baby names for each gender from 1920-1929 in the US).
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] is a really beautiful name and so underrated. And the nickname [name_u]Connie[/name_u] is so darling. I like this name with the middle name [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Isn’t that lovely? I also like the names [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
For boys, I like the names [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and [name_m]Philip[/name_m]. I like the middle name [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] for [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. Cool, isn’t it? And [name_m]Art[/name_m] is such a cute nickname.
The 1920s really did have some beautiful names and I can’t believe more people aren’t using them!
