Re: "Vintage Chic Names"
From any era?
Zelda would have to be my favorite "vintage chic" name. 1900-1935 was the height of its popularity. We are using it for DD.

Pearl
Opal
Alice
Maeve

Is this what you were thinking? I went straight to old lady names that are making a comeback.
We are about 75% sure this baby will be Leo, I think that falls into this category.
Girls: Clara, Alice, Emmeline, Ada
Boys: Oliver, Owen, Louis, Theodore, August
I like all of the old nicknames/full names. They are vintage to me.

My great grandma was Opal, her sisters were Chloedell Mae and Marjorie, and her mother was Zelma. Great grandfather was Orn Arwell, his mother was Clara. My mom's grandfather was Alva Hayes, which is a name I have always loved.
My dad's mom was Viola. My family has seen some pretty great names, in my opinion! I know more of them but I can't remember them right off the bat.
