50 old-fashioned names that are predicted to make a well-deserved comeback

When you look at baby names from over the years, it is clear that they go through various trends. What was popular 20, 30, 100 years ago might not even feature in today's most popular lists.

However, that doesn't mean they never will again though.

In fact, Nameberry looked at the top 500 names in 1918 and predict that the following ones are likely to become more popular in the near future as parents seek out traditional names that aren't overly used.
