Old-fashioned baby names are roaring back into fashion - and experts say they know why
Briefly

In recent years, classic and old-fashioned baby names have surged in popularity, contrasting previous trends favoring unique names. Notable names like Eleanor, Theodore, and Jasper are becoming trendy, as parents look for inspiration from family trees. Experts suggest that simpler names are preferred due to cultural diversity and ease of pronunciation. Vintage names evoke nostalgia, while names such as those ending in "aden" have declined in popularity since their peak in the early 2000s, highlighting the cyclical nature of name trends.
"...I'm hearing Hayes, Lachlan, Palmer, Soren, Sterling and Theodore; these names feel grounded, elegant and sturdy; they offer just the right mix of vintage soul and modern edge."
"I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration."
"More families in the US come from mixed cultural backgrounds, and I hear parents commonly request that they want their child to travel and have a relatively easy-to-understand name."
"Baby name trends ebb and flow - similar to fashion trends."
