Popular baby names appear in waves. However, we no longer hear about many of them. There are some Victorian-era names that are so beautiful and unique that we wish they would return! Here are 15 Victorian baby names that we’d want to hear more often.

1) Hazel. This charming name for a girl, which was very popular in the 1890s, deserves another chance.2) Effie Short for Euphemia, this name is unique but lovely. We hardly hear names derived from Greek mythology anymore!

3. Marcellus. This Marcus variety has been used since antiquity, but it has not gained significant favor in the last century. It’s time to bring this one back. 4. Herman
Herman peaked in popularity in the second part of the nineteenth century, but this timeless name could do well in our century as well.

5) Lula Lula was popular in the 1880s, but we prefer the sweeter sounding name. Not to add that it makes a great first and middle name combination.6) Alma
This lovely-sounding name hasn’t appeared on the charts in the United States since roughly 1895.

Interestingly, this name has becoming increasingly popular in other nations. 7) Della. Another variation of Adelaide or Adeline, this small variety is rarely used. It’s a very nice moniker.
