Help, I’m in need some inspiration! I’m looking for some ‘unusual’ vintage names that haven’t made quite the same comeback as other the vintage revivals I like.
Can you think of any undiscovered gems that wouldn’t feel out of place with other vintage names, specifically:
Hugo
Miles
Theo
Vincent
Eloise
Olive
Flora
Sylvie
Ideally looking for names outside of the Top 500 (UK/US/AU/NZ) still. Ok with it being a bit higher if it’s not skyrocketing up the charts!
I love undiscovered vintage gems!

@enwmn Thanks! I really like [name_f]Edith[/name_f], but she’s quite popular in the UK (#89)! Thank you for reminding me about [name_f]Wilma[/name_f] though, I always forget about her and I love that she’s quietly popular in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u]. [name_f]Edna[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and [name_f]Frida[/name_f] are lovely too. [name_f]My[/name_f] fave from the boys is [name_m]Chester[/name_m], but it was the name of my OHs family pet so that’s off the table! Floyd’s cute too.
@Rosebeth Thanks! I really like [name_m]Elton[/name_m] and it happens to be another one that’s quietly popular in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u]. Maybe I should have an [name_m]Elton[/name_m] & [name_f]Wilma[/name_f] haha! And yes! [name_m]Otis[/name_m]! I love [name_m]Otis[/name_m] and I always forget about him. [name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], but she’s top 50 (or almost) in UK, Australia and [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u]. Plus I have a cousin with a [name_u]Harry[/name_u] anyway.
