00:00 Ah, the good old days. They had some good old names.
00:03 Here are the vintage names coming back into fashion.
00:06 Did you know that according to experts,
00:07 baby names have 100 year cycles?
00:10 That means retro names from the 1920s
00:12 will be making a comeback.
00:14 The names Joan and Ronald are predicted
00:16 to have quite the resurgence.
00:18 Joan was previously in the top 10
00:20 most popular baby names in 1921,
00:23 but it dropped out of favor in the mid 1950s
00:25 before falling out of the top 100 entirely.
00:28 Justice for Jones.
00:30 As for Ronald's, it appears that boys' names
00:33 have a tendency to resurface as their nickname equivalent,
00:36 so we could be seeing a lot of Ronnies in the near future.
00:40 Thanks to period dramas like "Bridgerton,"
00:42 regency names are trending once again.
00:45 You may be seeing more baby Daphne's,
00:47 Penelope's, and Anthony's.
00:50 And of course, the real British royal family
00:52 have had an impact too,
00:54 with parents adopting regal names for their newborns.
00:57 George, Charlotte, Lily, and Archie
01:02 have all proved popular.
01:04 Clearly the public think they have names
01:06 fit for kings and queens.
01:08 Celebrities are even jumping on the old-fashioned bandwagon.
01:12 Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds opted for traditional names
01:15 for their daughters, James, Inez, and Betty.
01:18 If you need another sign that these names
01:19 are super cool and relevant,
01:21 then you should know that pop icon Taylor Swift
01:23 name drops all of the Reynolds children
01:25 in her song "Betty."
01:28 Guess we know who Taylor's favorite is then.
01:30 If you're looking for a timeless classic though,
01:32 then try Elizabeth, Joseph, Sarah, Michael, or Muhammad.
01:37 These handles, along with 10 others,
01:40 make up a collection of names that have all made
01:42 the top 100 most popular names list
01:45 every single decade since the roaring '20s.
01:48 Very impressive.
