You know your little boy is going to grow up to be a refined, distinguished gentleman, so why not consider a classic name? Separate your baby from all the Aidens in kindergarten with one of these time-tested options.

10 Vintage Boy Names You Will Love


Clark
A favorite among Old Hollywood actors, this name was hugely popular in the 1930s and again in the 1960s.


Curtis
This classic boys name peaked in popularity in the early 60s and has seen a sharp decline in popularity since then. Consider bringing it back.


Francis

Francis was a popular name for boys at the beginning of the 20th century and hasn’t seen a resurgence since. Think about this popular French name and the cute nickname Frankie.


Hugh
This is another name that was common in the first 20 years of the 1900s but has seen a significant drop off. But at one-syllable, it’s a nice, easy pick for a good, strong man.


Graham
A distinguished name belonging to famous author and screenwriter Graham Greene, this is a classic that’s been catching on; Graham has become a new favorite among parents starting in 2006.


Ernest
You want to raise a sweet, honest boy so why not build those qualities into his name?


Micah
In 1960, this name ranked 957 on the list of boys’ names in the United States and has climbed rapidly since then, landing in the top 100 last year. The Hebrew name meaning “who is like God” is a strong, traditional choice.



Wayne
Wayne hasn’t been on the top of parents’ lists since the late 1940s, but there’s no reason to leave this simple, English name in the discard pile.


Ephraim
A Biblical classic that gets ignored in favor of more popular choices like David and Michael, Ephraim is an Old Testament choice meaning “fruitful”.

Julius
A regal name fit for your little king that is slowly reclaiming its reign, this is one we’re happy to see brought back.
