Why Should I Give My Baby an Old Money Name?
Easy to Remember
A memorable name can help a child stand out from the crowd, such as a name that was more commonly used in the past.
Because we all know it: hearing a name you’ve never seen or heard before can become an annoying problem in many situations.
So most of the names on this list have been seen or heard before, or are easily pronounceable by most people.
Playful inspiration
A name that sounds timeless and elegant could help your child find inspiration and connection in the future.
This could help boost his self-esteem and give your child a role model to show what he can really achieve.
Gender Connotations
Names can sound more or less feminine or masculine.
Depending on where your child grows up, more doors will be open to them with gender-neutral first names or names that have stronger gender connotations.
Harder to Discriminate
Discrimination has been a sad truth in the world for centuries.
Many steps have been taken to combat it, but depending on your personal philosophy, if you want to give your child a bit of an edge, you may consider that many of the names on these lists offer very little information for a potential employer, business partner, or administrator to draw conclusions from.

Tips for Creating a Unique Name
Some parents are eager to give their child a unique name, giving their child a name that will certainly be unique.
Keep in mind that the number of babies born with your chosen name increases year by year.
Also, remember that your child may have to spend his or her entire life correcting people who have difficulty pronouncing or spelling an unconventional name.
If a child has enough trouble with their name, they may also be more likely to adopt a nickname, making you wonder why you gave them such a unique name in the first place! If you still need to give your child a name that is uniquely his, here are some ways you can do it:
1. Spell it in an Unusual Way
Conor, Connnor, and Conner are all less common than Connor, but just as easy to pronounce.
2. Mix the Genders:
Many names that are usually given to girls have male counterparts.
3. Squeeze Two Names Together
There probably aren’t many boys named BillBurt, for example.
4. Include a Middle Name
Give the child a middle name that can be combined with the first name, such as Jean-Paul or Billy Joel. This is similar to #3, and giving two names will also make your boy stand out.
