these two nuggets find their colors in 2023

A bit like fashion, first name trends are an eternal repetition. Some first names were very popular in the early 1900s, then fell into oblivion. But many nuggets today find beautiful colors and seduce parents in search of originality. They are called the “old” first names. And for good reason, they are still worn mainly by very old people.

On the girl side, the Adèle, Victoire, Lucie are already the stars in the playgrounds like Léo, Jules, Louis or even Victoire. Did you know that the first name Adele is assigned to nearly one girl in 210 today.
Other old first names should experience hours of glory in the coming years. They advance timidly but surely like Madeleine and Anatole. It should be noted that trends are not evenly distributed across the territory. It is in Paris, for example, that you are more likely to come across children bearing the first name of your great-grandmother.

The names of your great-grandmother

Magdalene comes from the Hebrew “Magdala” Name of a village in Galilee where Mary Magdalene lived. This first name was popular in the 20s. Moreover, the average age of people with the first name Madeleine is 98 years old. According The First Names Officialit is currently growing moderately, it is growing timidly but surely. Anatole comes from the Greek (dawn, rising sun). Still discreet, it progresses without making waves. It has been popularized for a few years thanks to Anatole Latuile, a crazy comic book character who always finds himself in incredible situations. Anatole is celebrated on September 24 and 7,500 boys bear this retro first name in France.
