Vintage baby names straight out of old Hollywood
1) Lucy
Who can resist naming their little girl after one of the most hilarious comedians ever to exist? Lucy (or Lucille's) time on screen brought us classic episodes that are still duplicated in comedy shows today.
12) Mickey
Not our favorite Magic Mouse, but still a name that brings a lot of joy, fun, and happiness! Mickey Rooney had an incredible nine-decade career as a leading man, starring in over 300 movies and becoming a major figure in the silent movie era.
14) Samuel
This name may be more common than you think for many reasons. This name might be more familiar than you realize, and for good reasons. First, it's simply a lovely, classic name for a young boy. Additionally, it's a name that can honor history. Samuel "Sammy" Davis, Jr, was one of the pioneering Black entertainers who achieved worldwide fame through his incredible acting, singing, and vaudeville performances.
18) Bing
Yes, —that Bing! The one who gave us some of the best Christmas music. So, for parents with a baby boy born around the holidays who want to spread some lifelong cheer, Bing might be the perfect name for your new bundle of joy.
21) Harry
The name Harry has been cherished for many decades and feels perfect for a young boy destined to carve out his own path, just like Harry Belafonte did. Harry gained popularity not only for his calypso music but also for his successful work in film, making his mark in both worlds.
