The ‘old lady’ name that is a beautiful option for your baby girl

Kat O'Connor

This ‘old lady’ name has been on our baby girl list for years

There are so many beautiful baby girl names out there so trying to settle on one may seem like a pretty impossible situation.

If you’ve recently found out you’re expecting a baby girl then you may feel overwhelmed by the endless options you have.

Should you choose a traditional name or a more modern moniker?

Maybe you should go with a family name and honour one of your loved ones or pick an entirely unique name hardly anyone has heard of.

One trend that appears to be growing in popularity is giving your baby girl an ‘old lady name’.

Better known as traditional names, these monikers may not be as popular as they once were, but are a great option for your little one.

Names like Maisie, Sadie, and Kitty are all so charming but not as popular nowadays.

They’ve been replaced with names like Grace, Sophia, and Fiadh, but they seem to be making a comeback.

One ‘old lady’ name we adore is Margaret, which we think is a beautiful choice for your daughter.

The name Margaret is of Greek origin and means ‘pearl’.

The name can also be shortened to Maggie or Margot if you prefer shorter names for baby girls.

What do you think of the name?

Is it too traditional or can you see names like Margaret making a comeback?

We’re hoping they’ll come back into style in the future.
