Another attractive aspect of old fashioned names is that they come with meanings. While "Kymbreigh" doesn't mean anything, and a Lexus is a car; these vintage girl names actually mean something. Also, they can be traced back to Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Celtic, Hebrew, German, and other languages; in which the names actually mean something. Parents can give their darling daughters a name that reflects the baby's attributes; the attributes the parents hope their child will possess, or perhaps a word that has some sort of significance to the parents or the family. For example, the name Imogen means "beloved child," Clementine means "merciful," Della means "noble;" and Vera means "truth," all of which could have special meaning to a family.

You might not decide until baby arrives and you see their face, but that gives you ample time to choose a name from our list.
