Opposite of Vintage Baby Names making a comeback, what are you favorite names that only started being widely used after the 1950s? Even if they’re not as popular anymore.
Mine would include Layla, Summer, Fiona…
I don’t have many for boys, so if you have any please share!
[name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] are great! I especially like this style of name for girls. Though [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] have both actually been in use for a long time!
Some of my favorite modern names:
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassidy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sloane[/name_f]
[name_f]Piper[/name_f]
[name_f]Delaney[/name_f]
[name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]
[name_f]Chelsea[/name_f]
[name_f]Ainsley[/name_f]
[name_m]Morgan[/name_m] (really only modern for girls, not boys)
[name_f]Avery[/name_f] (same as above)
[name_f]Brooklyn[/name_f]
[name_f]April[/name_f] (it started being used in the 1940s)
[name_f]Teagan[/name_f]
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f]
[name_f]Mackenzie[/name_f]
[name_f]Brandi[/name_f]
[name_m]Truett[/name_m]

I don’t like so many modern boy names, but I do like Arbor and Marlowe.
I’m a big fan of the surge in Celtic word names. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Fiadh[/name_f], [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] are all gorgeous.
