THE SURPRISING BABY NAMES MAKING A COMEBACK THIS YEAR

IMG_0214 While those of us who lived through the 90s might cringe at seeing some of the decade’s biggest trends coming back on the next generation, it seems the millennial love for all things 90s now extends to baby names too.

According to BabyCentre, if you’re in the baby way and are currently on the search for the perfect name that won't be same as 15 other people you know, then look no further than the decade that brought us 90210, The Spice Girls, chokers, scrunchies, Leonardo DiCaprio, Melrose Place, Clueless, tencel jeans, rollerblades, discmans, Nirvana, Britney and Justin, Friends... you get the idea.

"While these names may sound over-familiar and even old-fashioned to us '80s and '90s kids, they’ll be a breath of fresh air among all the Ivy’s and Noah’s at nursery and playgroup," says the website.
