Vintage Boy Names

Sturdy, distinguished, and quietly making a return, these vintage boy names hark back to the early twentieth century. Theodore, Henry, and Arthur are leading the revival, while names like Otis, Rufus, and Cornelius still turn heads for their rarity.

Each name shows its latest US rank and 10-year trend, so you can separate the boy names that are fully back in style from the ones that remain a well-kept secret.
