It seems that the new "in" thing is actually an "old" thing. People are always looking for something that is vintage - or what is more commonly called "retro". Whether it's clothing, art, pieces of furniture for your home or even music, it seems the older the better. But the "retro" feel doesn't stop with everyday things. It seems that new parents are now bringing back vintage baby names.

With data provided from the United States Census Bureau and the Social Security Administration, Mooseroots.com narrowed down vintage boys and girls names that have started to make their return. Specifically, Mooseroots was targeting names that ranked in the Top 200 Baby Names before the 1930s, ranked outside the Top 200 between 1930 and 1980 and ranked in the Top 200 again after 1980.

If you are a parent-to-be, or maybe you have friends that are soon to be new parents and may be looking for a unique baby name, instead of checking out some today's trendy names, look back in history.

    Again, another biblical reference with the name Noah. In 1880, the boy's name Noah was number 126th on the list, went through a huge decline in popularity - falling to number 693 in 1963 before rebounding. As the man Noah and his family was once saved by the Great Flood in the Bible, the name Noah was saved and is the most popular vintage (or retro) name for baby boy's.
