RARE "OLD MONEY" TREND NAMES These forgotten baby names were popular 100 years ago - SJ STRUM ad

[@kelliehorn1082]

This one really shows how versatile you are, SJ! I wouldn't say Old Money is your personal style, but you've managed to come up with so many names that you stand by and still fit the vibe.

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes I loved researching this one! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@saratexas5181]

Could you do an old fashioned/rare Country Western theme? That would be so fun! 🤠

[@SJ_Strum]

So fun! Yes will do 🤠

[@JA-xv3qp]

It would be so fun to have a list of names from songs, like Caroline (Sweet Caroline) and Elise from Fur Elise etc?

[@juliannecox380]

The moment you said Hyacinth I immediately thought of the show “it’s bouquet not bucket!” I do love the name though.

[@susanseverance9683]

Here in Boston, Rosamund and Caroline are old-money Victorian names.

[@hannasophia18]

Love that you said Ludo sounds so playful, immediately brought me back to my Latin lessons in high school, because ludare literally means playing 😊

[@LifeWithBethy]

My son is due in March and we are naming him Atticus! I love seeing his name used and shared! 😍

[@emilia.georgina]

Awww congrats! I love Atticus nicknamed Kit! ❤

[@ErikaShrout]

We had our son in July 2022, his name is Atticus as well! We love the name ❤

[@annigully8427]

Two of my daughters are named Olympia and Zelda, and I routinely get told they sound like “rich old ladies”🤣 I tried so hard to get my husband onboard with Gilda and Euphemia❤️

[@danaschreiner3334]

I love Olympia and a friend has a Zelda

[@JoanneMartinLucas]

Love these names, my husband would definitely go for Zelda

[@Cassxowary]

Nice names and they were kids once too, so checkmate 😂 but I can only think of one Euphemia played by one of the Fanning sisters and she hated her name, if I remember right, so she went by Effie so, you did fine :p

[@JNM1009]

Azarius and Atticus would be super cute twin boy names ❤

[@grettersantos7754]

I wish I would have seen this when I was having my twin boys ! Love those name!

[@katnuccio85]

I really like the color of the graphics. The green and ivory are so nice.

[@daniellerivera6161]

My MIL is called Norine after her grandmother Honora! We wanted to do Nora for our first girl to keep the trend

[@msaijay1153]

I love that

[@G4RA]

I love how yo keep your sisters ideas and I love that you mention her favorites as well is so precious ❤ love the short version of Theodora Teddy 😇

[@leighbrown9423]

What about Sterling/Stirling?? Love that one 😊

[@karoliinaollikainen3942]

I love Hilda and Tilda so it’s easy to sell me on Gilda… I’m surprised by how much I like Honora!

[@epalmerbright]

I’ve never seen Arianell before, I love it!

[@bibliophilelady6106]

The female half of this video is so Bridgerton. Araminta and Cressida are two of the ickiest villain characters and Hyacinth and Honoria are two of the protagonists. Julia Quinn would approve of this list.

[@ErikaShrout]

Also a fellow julia quinn fan! I totally thought this too! I've always loved Honoria.

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

I know Honoria from Agatha Christie

[@Luckyforus686]

Wow! Nailed this list! For me it’s Claude Benedict Astoria Arcadia

[@oliviamua6323]

Great video as always SJ :) Please could you do a video on Dutch baby names? x

[@TaraLyz]

Love the name Cybi! Might use it for a future pet's name though.

[@danaschreiner3334]

Soo cute!

[@janelldarleene6721]

I have a neice named Hyacinth! I'd never heard it as a name before her. She's 3 now

[@melissakingon4871]

I totally agree with Romeo and Juliet having the wrong surnames! I've always thought they sound better on the other. Glad it's not just me 😂

[@fighting.myself.to.stay.alive.]

i was going to mention Araminta in the comments as soon as I saw the "old money" - but you included it, of course! such a beautiful name, and i love both Minty and Minnie as nicknames. i've loved Effie ever since i heard the name in the first series of Skins, and love Montague for a boy as a full name for the nickname Monty - so much nicer than Montgomery! 💞

[@darianalexi]

Omg I LOVE Theodora Honey nickname Teddy. That had been on my list but my husband may not go for it.

[@PippaMarie94]

So happy you’re back ❤ and the jumpers are so beautiful! We recently had a little boy and named him Bowen Henry James 🩵 we are so in love!! Xx

[@lauraclark1575]

Ahhhhhh I love love love these! No more babies for me but I still obsess over names! ❤

[@moviemelody2210]

I know you’ve already said this name on a previous list but I think the name Jarvis is perfect as it reminds me of the character Jarvis Pendleton from the novel Daddy Long Legs

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes I love Jarvis so much too _ I think it's going to get really popular!

[@madeleinep7103]

I've never liked Gilda until you said it but you make it sound lovely.

[@novelideea]

My Great Aunt is Cressida! She goes by Essi in the family.

[@tangledcharlotte]

I've always loved Atticus, plus there's the Atticus Finch association, at least if you went to school in the U.S.

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes i think it’s maybe more popular in the U.S x

[@Teajay21]

Ambrose feels old money & Dark Academia

[@honorcollins6962]

I’m so surprised to hear my name on this list!! I’ve never thought of my name as being old money because my family are definitely not, but I do remember growing up a lot of kids at school thought I was posh 😂 Honora is definitely posher than Honor in my opinion

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes it is! I love it - and honor! It’s such a rare vintage gem too! Xx

[@honorcollins6962]

@@SJ_Strum I would be honoured (pun intended 😉) if my name became more popular thanks to you!

[@juliannawretmanwerner4004]

I love this list! Jenkin and Ludo are my favourites.

[@katherineforbes9440]

Jeffrey Paul, Patrick Benjamin, Simon Angus, Gilbert Walter, Claire Elizabeth, Laura Kathleen, Mary Therese, Patricia Agnes

[@Kimberleyjames1000]

I have a 3 year old called Penelope and most of the time we call her Penny ❤ We always get compliments on her name

[@montanahickey866]

Ooh, my name (Montana) got a mention!! Yay!! This is such a fun list 😊 Love the posh voice and the nicknames in this video

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

I love Verity and Honoria/Honora/Annora for this list. Also Piers and August.

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

Love seeing Euphemia here! Had this one on our short list for quite awhile and it's still on the table as a possible middle. I saw a variation of Gertrude recently, Giertrue, and I really really like it (more gear than ger, and while I love a girls name that ends in a strong letter D sound I think the dropping of the D brings sone needed softness in this case.) True or even Greer could work as nickname options.

[@darianalexi]

Giertrue is super cool! Love that!

[@snpomroy]

I much prefer Giertrue to Gertrude!! So cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@danaschreiner3334]

​@@snpomroyagreed! Although I do think Gerty or Trudy is cute

[@elliotback6023]

Quite funny actually to hear one of my names on this list, I renamed myself and one of my middles is Azarias (same name different spelling), I go by Elliot as a first name but Azarias is such a cool name

[@almatedder2911]

Love this! Gertrude is nice :) I think Cordelia “Cordy” would fit…

[@claudetherabbit]

What about Lavinia? This name screams “old money” to me.

[@evacrowton4544]

Not too keen on Gilda but I did go to school with a girl named Golda and always loved it!

[@Carlyayi]

Ludo was our boy option, we had our daughter Skye instead but gonna have to get a puppy called Ludo one day!

[@harmanierosedance]

I had a great Aunt Trudy. I remember loving every time I got to visit with her.

[@Rebnutkins12789]

We called my late cousin Jonty for short and loved it. He was Jonathon.

[@joanie5278]

Talking about Cybi made me think of Alphege, a saint from the Bath area. An easy nickname is Alfie, but you get a unique name.

[@SJ_Strum]

Wow I love that name - thanks for adding x

[@ladykeraboo08]

My father who passed in 2011 was named Edward, my favorite alternative is Edsel but we have a son name Ford already so we could never use it!

[@meljstephan]

The first names that popped into my head were Hugo and Esteé.

[@tracy3418]

I'm due in April around the solar eclipse. Can you do a baby name list for others who are due around the solar eclipse? It'll go across the US.

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes great idea! X

[@darianalexi]

Solara Solaris Nova - meaning new, symbolizing the beginning of a new phase Celestia - reflecting the celestial and heavenly nature of the eclipse Astrid - meaning beautiful or loved Galaxia - evoking the vastness of the galaxy Zenith - represents the highest point during eclipse Horizon - meeting point of the sun and sky Phoenix - symbolizing rebirth and renewal like the sun emerging from the eclipse Names you might have already thought of: Cosmo/Cosmos Aurora Orion Luna

[@sarahlabbe9779]

I like Honora, in French there's also the masculine version "Honoré", it's considered an old man's name nowadays but I think it should come back.

[@coinscrayon1311]

Penny is my surname and I get called it all the time! It's a lovely name if it is your name but not good if it's not 😂

[@BlueMoon3l3b]

I always thought it was pronounced Mont-eh-gYOO. Not mont-eh-GOO

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah maybe! Thanks for adding that!

[@jgarner2780]

I LOVEEEE Azarius!!!!!! Thanks!

[@shanaghtuck4722]

Love this list! Azarias is usually pronounced ah-zuh-rye-us, like Zacharias/Zachariah, Ananias, Elias, Tobias.

[@teresagustafsson3527]

The girl I used to be a nanny for used the name Araminta in a story she wrote and I thought she made it up because I'd never heard it before.

[@marty9011]

Jonty is such a poshboy name, which I do like though & would have it as a nickname for the Jonathan. Redvers is not pronounced as it looks I think, but don't know how it should be. Cressida & Arianell are nice.

[@ZackRekeSkjell]

Ludo is definitely a playful name! It translates to “I play” in Latin.

[@Teajay21]

I was so confused for a moment because I was like SJ doesnt normally sound like this does she? I know its been a while lol

[@insulaarachnid]

I really like Cressida (Sid), Honora (Nora) and Theodora (Teddy or Dora).

[@SJ_Strum]

Such cool nicknames aren't they!

[@kathryngrace9038]

Theodora nn Teddy is such a favorite of mine. I’m desperate for someone I know to use that name. I’m also a big fan of Thea. Is anyone reading this with a Teddy at home? So gorgeous!

[@victoriabutler11]

I have a Theia! ❤

[@kathryngrace9038]

@@victoriabutler11 oooh… LOVE!

[@danaschreiner3334]

Love Araminta! I know an Amynta. Love Honora too😊 also not sure if there is another character Gilda but in Wicked the good witch is Galinda.

[@maggieee3593]

I said this the last time you had Araminta in a name list, but Araminta was Harriet Tubman's birthname!

[@SJ_Strum]

I love that so much! I've listened to a podcast about her and was fascinating x

[@Beeba10]

Not sure if it's old money, but a name I like which means wealth/treasure is Ozara (an alternative form of the Hebrew name Otzara). I think it's really pretty and a different alternative to Zara. I found it when I was looking for names for my toy Niffler haha, and I went with it; I call her Ozzie for short, and she has a big younger brother called Ozwald (Oz) now.

[@BeatrixBuchanan-s5t]

could you do tomboy baby girl names im sorry for your loss love your vids

Ludo is some what common in the Netherlands.

[@evieartsandcraftlover1079]

I’m on the hunt. 5 th baby on the way and I’m stumped for boy names.

[@evieartsandcraftlover1079]

I have a huge list of pretty girl names from your channel but nothing is jumping up out at me.

[@laurencegirouard6397]

What are the names of your older kids, if you're confortable sharing? I looooove looking at sib sets to find inspiration!

[@SJ_Strum]

Ahhhh how exciting!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I hope find something you love here

[@tonyarussell8419]

I’ve always loved JONTY. I wish I’d used it for my youngest but I wasn’t brave enough.

[@tracy3418]

We stumped on boy names as well! We have our girl name picked out, but having a second boy instead.

[@NiaJD]

Azaria is a great female match for Azarius, I think 😄

[@Firefly92]

My fave trend

[@eldiazoni]

I love Araminta, Minty for a a nick name. Sadly my husband doesn't agree : (

[@widow237]

For me, one or two syllables is ideal for a name, sometimes three. Four syllables is too long…just ends up with a nickname 🤷‍♀️

[@robinwagner3293]

My mother's name was Nellie. She did not like it. LOL. I wonder what she would think of the name Arianell. It is pretty.

[@letursparkleshine]

Emory for a boy!

[@msaijay1153]

Theodore and Allegra

[@midnightmnrise]

You definitely could be a Penny!! Is there a way I can send you a baby name dilemma?❤

[@sandradolls5682]

❤❤❤❤

[@Finallyamum]

Euphemia sounds like some sort of serious disease

[@katherineforbes9440]

Ps is there a feminine form of Jeffrey

[@katnuccio85]

I have a friend and her name is Jeffrey Lynn. I also have a girlfriend who is named Jeffrey.

[@claudetherabbit]

@@katnuccio85i also once knew a Jeffreylynn (one name). I thought it was pretty and unique.

[@darianalexi]

What about Giafrey?

[@darianalexi]

Or…. Jocelyn Jessamine Gemma Josephine Geneva Georgina Jaffa Jelena Jovie Jentry

[@hathawyn]

That horrid pronunciation of Montague not only completely ignored the origins of the surname, but makes the name utterly unusable 😂😬

[@Shade441]

[@Shade441]

1st

[@V3ganBr33]

99% of these are super cringe 😬

[@smudgetoast]

I love the name Hyacinth but I got stuck on the nickname until I thought *duh* Cinthy! Good way to honor a Cynthia too! ❤ Also a video idea that I wanted to suggest is storybook names for girls, but not Disney-type names; rather “old folk storybook” names! Very Nordic, strong, mysterious. Names like Enid, Greer, Briar, Bryndis, etc. ✨💕

[@Teajay21]

Could do Cindy too? It would be stretchy but Heidy?
