The New Antique Generation

Jul 18th 2013
By Laura Wattenberg

If you've ever heard a favorite song of your youth pop up on an "oldies" station, you know the facts of fashion life: the past doesn't sit still. That holds as true for antique-styled names as it does for grunge rock.

Ten years ago, you could count on the top "antique revival" names drawing U-shaped curves on the NameVoyager, which tracks name popularity since the 1880s. That means that their previous peaks had been in the 19th Century. Grace and Emma are excellent examples:

Parents are still mining the fashions of the 19th-century, but the times are starting to change. Many of the hottest new antique revivals had their heydays in the first quarter of the 20th Century. These new antiques still sound decidedly old-fashioned, but their style is shifting away from the Victorian sweetness of Emma and Grace. Names like Lola, Ruby and Leo are decidedly sassy. Everett, Adeline and Evelyn have a jaunty formality, like a straw boater hat.

The following names with previous peaks from 1900-1925 have risen sharply in the past decade, and now rank among the top 400 names for boys or girls:

GIRLS
Evelyn
Adeline
Genevieve
Ruby
Sophie
Violet
Lillian
Lola
Hazel
Vivian
Eleanor
Josephine

BOYS
Everett
Theodore
Leo
Felix

Here's the curve they trace, more of a tilde than a U:

What’s next? Some names from the early 20th Century with up-and-comer potential:

Potential:
Adele
Beatrice
Cleo
Corinne
Estelle
Leona
Nola
Reva
Viola

Alton
Arlo
Bruno
Ellis
Jules
Truman

Then stay tuned for another 10-20 years, until the generation of Lois, Gene and Betty comes back around.

I interpreted this as a name pattern. It consists of a value name that matches any value, binding the name to the value. The pattern also matches any value, but does not bind any name.

nothing can't i do, i just write about recipes

Ayam dapat di gunakan menjadi berbagai jenis masakan, ayampenyet adalah salah satunya. Resep ayam penyet sangat mudah, itu sebabnya banyak yang bisa membuat resep ayam penyet, selain di jadikan ayampenyet, juga bisa di jadikan ayam kremes, meskipun awalnya resep ayam kremes jarang yang tau, tapi sekarang sudah banyak orang yang pandai membuat resep ayam kremes. Ada juga yang menjadikan daging ayam sebagai bahan dasar membuat bakso, tapi kalau membuat bakso mungkin yang jadi kendala adalah resep kuah bakso yang lumayan susah, namun jangan khawatir karena sudah banyak blog yang membahas resep kuah bakso, jadi resepkuah bakso sudah mudah di temukan. selain resep kuah bakso, resepcapcay kuah juga ada, hanya saja resep capcay kuah sangat sederhana, dan resep capcay kuah tidaklah sulit. dan jika anda ingin mendirikan rumah makan mungkin bisa menjadikan bubur sumsum sebagai menu tambahan karena resep bubur sumsum gampang dan mudah. untuk nasinya anda bisa menjadikan nasi kuning sebagaimenu andalan, tapi jika anda tidak tau resep nasi kuning dan ingin belajar tentang resep nasi kuning silahkan belajar di blog saya yang membahas tentang resep cara membuat berbagai jenis masakan. terimakasih.
