Retro-Chic names
Names seem to follow a 100-year trend; Victorian-era names (Hannah, Emma, Emily, Isabella etc.) are all back in fashion. However, pretty soon, early 20th century names will come back in. Some of these (Max, Felix, Lola, Stella, Hazel, Ruby) are already on the rise. Here are some more that are starting to sound fresh again.
