I wanted spider web tattoo- people reckon it looks like something VERY different
Almond – Given to six baby boys in 1885, this could be a tribute to the humble nut, or potentially a variation of the name Almund.
Harm – In 1904 there were nine Harm's born in the States. Originating from the Dutch Herman, the name doesn't translate well in English.
Spicy – Five daughters were called Spicy in 1883. Goodness knows why.
Man – Much like Ronseal, this name does exactly what it says on the tin. There were five boys who were creatively called Man in 1884.
Wealthy – Potentially in an attempt to manifest some moolah, seven sets ofparents decided to call their daughter Wealthy in 1887.
Branch – This one was handed out to seven lads in 1889. Although the name experts at NameBerry did suggest that Branch could have a resurgence as a solid unisex moniker for the modern age.
Bush – Exactly like Branch, seven children were called Bush in 1889. Unlike Branch, no one predicts that Bush will make a comeback.
Cappie – In 1883 five baby girls were called Cappie after a character in the novel The Hidden Hand. I went to school with a girl called Cappie so maybe it's creeping back in.
Cinnamon – A whopping 202 girls were christened Cinnamon in 1969. It's thought that this spike was due to two songs – Cinnamon by Derek and Cinnamon by Neil Young.
Doll – While many will assume that this is a sweet name for little girls, it is in fact a hit with the little lads. With German origins, the unusual name was popular for baby boys in 1902.
Girtha – Yes Gertha managed to make it's way back into our consciousness butit's a stretch to think Girtha will do the same. 1903 saw a total of 13 little Girtha baby girls.
These are the old fashioned baby names set to make a comeback and it looks like Peaky Blinders is part of the reason why.
For more parenting stories, this mum was in hysterics after spotting VERY cheeky detail in Julia Donaldson book & people are stunned they’ve never noticed it.
And this man who refused to give up his bus seat for a pregnant woman defends his decision.
