If you or anyone you know is expecting a baby, you’ll have learned that picking out a name can be hard.
You want it to be unique, but not so off-the-wall that nobody can spell it. And your son or daughter will literally have it on their birth certificate for life, so you can’t just choose on a whim.
But don’t worry – the issue may be that you just haven’t stumbled upon the right option yet.
You’ll know that old-fashioned names – such as Ada, Eva and Alfie – are big ATM. And now it’s been predicted that more vintage classics will enjoy a resurgence in 2018.
Baby naming website Nameberry has drawn up a list of names that were popular in 1918, and could be about to make a comeback. See if any take your fancy…
