These grandparent names will be the most popular in 2024

In 2024, retro names are back in style, bringing joy to new parents seeking originality. Just like retro fashion is making a big comeback, old-fashioned names are making their way onto family registries, according to Officiel des prénoms. The top spot for girls' names in 2024 is predicted to be taken by Madeleine. This classic name, popular in the 1910s, is set to shine once again. Once ranking third in France in 1910 and fourth in the 1920s, Madeleine is making a grand return. Although it's often associated with our grandmothers' and great-grandmothers' era, in 2024, it's expected to regain its former glory, currently sitting in the top 300. This revival isn't just for Madeleine; other old names like Aliénor and Suzanne are also expected to see a resurgence this year. And for boys' names in 2024, the retro trend continues with Lucien leading the pack. Meaning "light" in Latin, Lucien was a popular choice in the early 20th century, ranking 18th, 17th, and 16th in the 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s. Today, this vintage name is on the rise among a new generation of boys.
