Classic boy name Thomas topped the baby name charts, hanging on to a top 20 status, all the way from 1900 to the mid-70s, when it began falling out of favor, but only slightly so.
Sandra has plummeted in popularity since its heyday in the early 1960s, when it was a top ten choice for baby girls—thanks then in part to actress Sandra Dee.
Okay, so you probably have an Uncle Jeff, but this classic boy name, which was hugely popular from the 50s through the 70s, would be so cute on a baby.
We can absolutely see Julie fitting in with all the Avas and Emmas in preschool. The French name literally means “youthful” (how perfect!) and has such a nice ring to it.
George is one of those timeless baby names never went out of style. It was hugely popular throughout the first half of the 20th century, as well as the 60s.
There’s a lot to love about Cynthia, which was a top ten fave of parents from the mid-50s through the mid-60s. The unique moniker, now barely in the top 1000 for girls.
Paul McCartney! Paul is an ancient name you know well but don’t hear all on that many little ones anymore. It used to be a 20th-century classic given to a whopping 242,515 boys in the 1960s.
The number five most-popular girl name of the 60s? Kimber is also an interesting choice that might feel a little bit more contemporary and cool for some parents.
Thank you Timothée Chalamet for making this 1960s favorite suddenly seem fresh, modern, and stylish again. We personally adore the nickname Tim or Timmy.
