I really really love the following names, but I don’t know of they are too old fashioned! [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] much all of them have cute nicknames, so I think they could work, but I don’t know! Advice appreciated!
These names have all been very much in style for last decade or so, and any kids called these names on your list will be right at home in the classroom,. They’re broadly “turn of century” - late 1800s to early 1900s - names - which are very popular among Millennial parents.
If anything, I think they are even on the second/back half of the trend (not tail end but not the start either). I think we’re staring to see “Boomer” names slowly creeping back in - though the Turn of Century names are also seen as more “classic” so will stay around too. They’re not disappearing!
And I really like these names btw - Edmond / Edmund is a long term fave, and Magdalene is stunning! I prefer straight Sylvie over Sylvia, and Frederick with a K in English speaking contexts.
I don’t think they’re too old fashioned at all! [name_f][/name_f] I know kiddos named [name_m]Edmond[/name_m], [name_m]Oskar[/name_m], [name_m]Frederic[/name_m], and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] just feel classic to me. [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] are all very well loved on these forums. [name_f][/name_f] I would be happy to meet kiddos with any of these names! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Oskar[/name_m], [name_m]Frederic[/name_m], [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] are my favorites, though. [name_f][/name_f]
