Your name might sound old-fashioned in this world of ‘Harmonee’s and ‘Jaxon’s but now a new 2016 baby name prediction list has shown that what’s old will be new again…
As they say: what goes around comes back around! According to Baby Centre, unusual names are still going to be popular, as are some old-fashioned names we thought were gone forever.
