These 30 Vintage Baby Names Are Suddenly Cool All Over Again

Lorraine

Lorraine is one of those names that sounds like it belongs in a black-and-white movie, and that’s part of its magic. It comes from a region in France called Lorraine, and the name means “from the kingdom of Lothar.” Fancy, right? It took off in the 1920s and 1930s, when Hollywood actresses like Lorraine Hansberry and characters in classic films gave it a glow-up.

The name feels soft and romantic, but it’s got some serious vintage power behind it. Now it’s popping up again on birth certificates, and honestly, we’re not mad. Lorraine is like pearls and red lipstick; always classy, always fabulous, and ready for a comeback.
