Transparent Girls' Names

In the world of naming, there are traditional names, like Alice and Noah, and contemporary names, like Easton and Harlow. However, there is an in-between class of names that's rarely talked about. These are called transparent names because they can sew the gap between traditional and contemporary names.

Transparent names have a moderate or long history of use, yet they were never common enough to be tied to a generation. These names are also newly popular, hence giving them a trendy or modern feeling. 

In order to qualify, a name must:

  • be at least 50 years old.
  • have a sense of traditional style. 
  • have not entered the top 200 anywhere in the English-speaking world before 1960.
  • rank within the top 200 somewhere in the English-speaking world after 1960.
