Baby name style has a blind spot. The names of our own generation and our parents’ and grandparents’ generations are invisible to our fashion sense. So for decades, the trendy baby names of the 1950s and ‘60s have been languishing in disuse. You’re more likely to meet babies today named Temperance and Denim than Pamela and Gary.

But a few names from that era are starting to stir again. I’ve identified nine prospects that are breaking free of their generational baggage and staging a comeback. See for yourself if they sound fresher than the rest of the names they grew up with—and if they could be the vanguard of a new wave to come.

1. Darcy (F). In the ‘60s, this name nestled in among surnames like Tracy and nicknames like Cindy. The recent explosion of Jane Austen media has set it apart from the pack, as the connection to Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice takes precedence.

2. Margo (F). The unconventional feminine -o ending is this name’s draw. Parents first discovered the allure of girl’s names ending in the -o sound but hidden behind a silent final letter, like Harlow and the French Margot. Now the bare -o is getting its chance to shine too.

3. Dean (M). 1960s style was full of blunt, curt boys’ names, like, well, Curt. Not to mention Kent, Craig, Brad, Todd, Mark, Dirk and Kirk. Dean is a little sleeker, which has helped it cross the generational divide.

4. Colette (F). Consonant-heavy French names with last-syllable stress were once the height of style. Colette is one of the first signs of a revival, with a boost from a 2018 biopic of the writer Colette.

5. Melody (F). This word name peaked in 1960 then declined for the rest of the 20^th Century, but it has come roaring back to reach new heights. Melody fits the modern style of lyrical meaning names for girls, and echoes the rhythm of hits like Kennedy and Serenity.

6. Gwen (F). This Welsh name can be a nickname for longer names like Gwendolyn, but it has the most momentum on its own. It’s a punchy name with idiosyncratic girl power.

7. Rocky (M). The name Rocky rose with the career of boxing champion Rocky Marciano in the 1950s, then enjoyed a modest revival in the ‘70s and ‘80s thanks to fictional boxer Rocky Balboa. It then fell out of favor, but is roaring back in a wave of ultra-tough, aggressive-sounding names for boys.

8. Kip (M). This breezy ‘60s name is part of a “mini name” resurgence for boys, alongside timeless nicknames like Mac and Wes. Some parents are taking a round-about route to it with new constructions like Kipton.

9. Joni (F). The form of this name conjures a whole era. Joni, Toni, Lori, Tami, Jodi, Teri and friends are the sound of the ‘60s. A recent renaissance for iconic singer Joni Mitchell has helped set this one apart from the pack. It’s still rare, but turning the corner.
