Vintage Boy Names

Vintage boy names are in style now, combining the gravitas of a name with traditional roots with the freshness of one that hasn't been heard for decades. While not all antique boy names make the fashion grade – sorry, Herbert and Melvin – new old choices such as August and Theodore are being added to the roster all the time.

Along with August and Theodore, other vintage names for boys in the US Top 200 include Abel, Asher, Bennett, Elias, Finn, Henry, Jasper, and Xavier. Rarer retro names for baby boys on the rise include Linus, Cassian, Ned, and Aurelius.

A vintage name can give your son a good measure of history and heft to rely on. Antique names tend to come connected to many worthy namesakes along with heroes of literature and myth.
