How About Harvey? What About Walter?
How About Harvey? What About Walter?
Mar 25, 2025 2:09 AM

  The Nameberry Question of the Week: Would you name your baby boy Harvey or Stanley or any of the other up-and-coming oldies appearing on the recently released British pop list?

  Is this another case where the Yanks will follow the Brits in baby-naming trends and revive such previously verboten Grandpa names as Harvey, Arthur, Leon, Walter and Stanley— all once considered distinguished in their day?  Or similar in style name like  Gilbert, Murray, Ralph, Howard or Ernest?

  Which, if any, of the names of this genre would you consider?

  Would you choose it only to honor a relative with that name?  And/or only as a middle name?

  If you did use one, would you consider it cutting-edge or pleasingly retro or perenially stylish?
