Much like bell bottoms, perms and scrunchies – everything old is new again, and that certainly extends to baby names.

In a move against the Apples of the world, many parents are bucking the trend and opting for traditional names. So much so that Nameberry has rounded up the most popular baby names from 1918.

There were the usual contenders like John, James, Mary and Margaret, but they've focused on the names that aren't featured in today's top options. 

 

Get ready to head 100 years down memory lane for some naming inspiration.
