Perfect timing as I'm about to give birth any moment to a baby girl. My fave retro name for a girl is Florence but my husband doesn't like it!

My husband and I are expecting our first child this November, and last night, he sheepishly and excitedly told me he had a name if our baby is a boy. He said I couldn't laugh. "Orville." Orville Redenbacher? Like the popcorn? I asked. "No. Orville like the Wright Brothers," he said, smiling and burying his head into the pillow. "We could call him Orvie for short..."
Posted by: Stephanie Moon | May 13, 2012 at 09:25 AM
I love these sweet girls' names:
Avey
Arwen
Elodie
Posted by: Katie | May 13, 2012 at 07:41 AM
I agree with a lot of the commentators that Ruby for a girl is a adorable girls name (in Dutch I will probably turn it into Roeby). For a boy I am thinking of Raf, also a Dutch name (don't know if it's really 'retro', but still oldfashioned I think).
Posted by: Nine|Tree | May 12, 2012 at 10:57 PM
I've always loved Eli and Esme

Posted by: Anna | May 12, 2012 at 08:34 PM
Gee, if I were expecting I'd be writing these names down, they're all awesome! :) I'm quite partial to Betty, there's just 'something' about it. I also like(d) Jake, Harry and Charles, but these names are quite common now so slightly losing there appeal to me sadly, still, they're still great names!
Posted by: Emily K | May 12, 2012 at 07:49 PM
Omar and Paloma would be my favorites for newborns now!
But I have already a Milan and a Oona!
Posted by: Femke Holdrinet | May 12, 2012 at 04:23 PM
