This old first name, which has fallen into disuse for a century, could well make a big comeback in 2025.

When nostalgia guides the choice of first names

For today’s young parents, choosing a name has become a real challenge: between the desire to stand out and the fear of giving in to fashion, many are turning to vintage names.  These old-fashioned names, imbued with authenticity and timeless charm, are increasingly popular.

Among the girls,  Léonie, Simone, and Odette are already enjoying a second youth.  On the boys’ side, Lucien, Gaspard, and Théophile charm with their old-fashioned elegance. And now, Gasparine seems ready to join this gentle and nostalgic wave.
