There's something super comforting about all things vintage. Perhaps that's why we all seem to be obsessed with vintage clothes, antique cars, and heirloom furniture.

所有复古的东西都令人欣慰。也许这就是为什么我们似乎都痴迷于复古的衣服、古董车和祖传家具。

What better way to pay tribute to years gone by than to also pass on a vintage name to your little bundle of joy?

还有什么比把一个古老的名字传给你的小宝贝更好的方式来向过去的岁月致敬呢?

These baby names are adorably old-fashioned and unique, but if our trend of loving everything from our grandparents' and parents' era continues, they're about to become really popular.

这些宝宝的名字是古典而独特的,非常可爱,但如果我们能把从祖辈和父辈时代起喜爱的潮流都传承下去的话,它们将会变得非常流行。

Marjorie. The old-fashioned baby name Marjorie originally comes from the name Margaret, which means "pearl."

玛乔丽。这个古典的名字玛乔丽起初源于意为“珍珠”的名字玛格利特。

This particular variant's spelling was influenced by the herb marjoram and was in the top 25 for baby names in the 1920s.

这个特殊变体的拼写受到了草本墨角兰的影响,在20世纪20年代的婴儿名字中排名前25位。

After not even making it to the top 1000 baby names from 1995-2012, it surged to number 799 in 2015. This is likely thanks to the similarities it shares with Margaery Tyrell in the Game of Thrones series.

从1995年到2012年,这个名字甚至都没能进入过前1000名,但在2015年却飙升到了第799名。这可能要归功于它与《权力的游戏》中的玛格丽·提利尔的相似之处。

Despite the limited resurgence in the U.S., Marjorie dropped back to number 925 in 2016, meaning it's still just uncommon enough to be unique, but has enough history to satisfy your vintage tastes.

尽管玛乔丽在美国的排名有所回升,但在2016年又跌回了第925位,这意味着它的不寻常程度仍足以让它独一无二,但它的历史还是足以满足你的复古口味。

Leonard. The name Leonard has a long history, dating back to at least the 5th century when it was made popular by St. Leonard, the patron saint of horses. Despite this association, the name Leonard actually means "brave lion."

伦纳德。伦纳德这个名字由来已久,至少可以追溯到5世纪,当时马的守护神圣伦纳德很流行。尽管有这种联系,但伦纳德这个名字实际上意为“勇敢的狮子”。

This noble moniker lends itself well to nicknames; if Leonard is a bit too long for your baby you can consider nicknaming him Leo or Lenny, that's right, Lenny Kravitz's real name is Leonard.

这个高贵的绰号很适合昵称;如果伦纳德对你的宝宝来说太长了,你可以考虑给他取个小名比如利奥或兰尼,没错,兰尼·克拉维茨的真名是伦纳德。

For science fiction and comic nerds, consider this name as a nod to legendary Mr. Spock actor Leonard Nimoy.

对于科幻小说和喜剧迷来说,这个名字是对扮演传奇人物斯波克先生的演员伦纳德·尼莫伊的致敬。

Or, if you're interested in giving your baby a name in honor of a fictional character instead of an actor, there's always Leonard Hofstadter from The Big Bang Theory or Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold, most recently made famous by Wentworth Miller's portrayal of the character on the CW's The Flash.

或者,如果你有兴趣给宝宝起一个虚构角色而非演员的名字,那么像《生活大爆炸》中的莱纳德·霍夫斯塔特或者《闪电侠》 中温特沃斯·米勒饰演的寒冷队长伦纳德·斯奈特都不错。

Louisa. Popular in the late 19th century, Louisa is perhaps best known as the name of author Louisa May Alcott who wrote Little Women.

路易莎。于19世纪末广为流行,她最广为人知的名字可能是写出《小妇人》的作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特。

You may see this name making a comeback soon, however, as the popular book-turned-movie Me Before You features a character named Louisa "Lou" Clark played by popular Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke.

不过,你可能很快就会看到这个名字卷土重来,由热门小说改编的电影《遇见你之前》中有一个名叫路易莎·克拉克的角色,由《权力的游戏》中的热门女演员艾米莉亚·克拉克饰演。

If you're more interested in where the name comes from, it's ultimately derived from the name Ludwig which comes from the German terms "hlud" meaning "famous," and "wig" meaning "war." Fierce!

如果你对这个名字的来源感兴趣,它源于德语名字路德维希,其中“hlud”,意为“著名的”,“wig”意为“战争”。很凶猛吧!

Jasper. The name Jasper was popular from about 1880 to 1920, and is enjoying a second life in the 21st century.The name's rise to prominence in pop culture is possibly due to the Twilight series and its association with vampire Jasper Hale.

贾斯帕。这个名字在1880年到1920年间很流行,在21世纪,又迎来了了重生。再次的崛起可能与《暮光之城》系列电影以及与吸血鬼贾斯帕·黑尔有关。

The name, which is Persian in origin, literally translates to "bringer of treasure."

这个名字源于波斯语,字面意思是“带来财富的人”。

In any case, the namesake of Jasper National Park is a celebrity shoo-in: actor Don Johnson and his wife Kelley Phleger chose it for their son, as did country singer Brad Paisley and actress Kimberly Williams.

不管怎么说,与贾斯珀国家公园同名的名字肯定容易成名:演员唐·约翰逊和他的妻子凯利·弗勒及乡村歌手布拉德·佩斯利和女演员金伯利·威廉姆斯也都为孩子取名贾斯帕。

Emmeline. As a lovely name that conjures up visions of rosy-cheeked young girls on Victorian valentines,

埃米琳。这个可爱的名字会让人联想起维多利亚时代情人节上脸颊红润的年轻女孩们,

Emmeline might also conjure up cinematic or literary heroines like Emmeline Lestrange, the island-bound girl played by Brooke Shields in 1980's The Blue Lagoon; or the tragic, courageous, and intrepid Emmeline of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.

也可能会让人联想到电影或文学中的女主角,比如1980年《青春珊瑚岛》中由波姬·小丝饰演的埃米琳·莱斯特兰奇;或者哈丽叶特·比切·斯托所著的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中悲壮、勇敢无畏的埃米琳。

The name is associated with strength, which is appropriate since it also conjures up famous suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, a key figure in the feminist movement, who developed a passion for working for the liberation of women at the tender age of 14, and remained dedicated to said mission until her death at age 70.

这个名字与力量联系在一起,也是再恰当不过了,因为它让人联想到著名的女权运动的关键人物埃米琳·潘克赫斯特,她在14岁的时候就产生了为解放妇女而工作的热情,并一直致力于这一使命,直到70岁去世。

Archie. When it comes to fabulously hip retro baby names with a wonderful pop culture twist, it's hard to beat Archie.

阿奇。如果要给宝宝起一个超级时尚的复古名字,又要融入奇妙的流行文化元素,那么阿奇肯定是当仁不让了。

Its instantaneous comic book associations give it a zippy, ebullient, jaunty-little-boy flare. Unless you're the curmudgeonly Archie Bunker, of course, but even he has his place in the pop culture hall of fame.

它与漫画书的即时联系赋予其一种活泼、热情、洋洋得意的小男孩形象。当然,除非你是脾气乖戾的阿奇·邦克,但即使是他也在流行文化的名人堂中占有一席之地。

"Well just tell me what the problem is… I'll tell you 'forget it!' and we'll both go to sleep!"

“好吧,告诉我是什么问题……我想还是‘算了吧!’ 我们都要去睡觉了!”

Though the name Archie has an all-American, boy-next-door appeal to it, it's even more of a hit in the UK, to the tune of being the 18th most popular name for boys in England in 2016 and the 19th most popular in Scotland in 2017.

虽然阿奇这个名字在全美国都很受欢迎,但它在英国更是风靡一时。2016年,阿奇在英格兰最受欢迎的男孩名字中排名第18位,2017年在苏格兰排名第19位。

Clementine. A beautiful French baby name, Clementine was popularized by Kate Winslet's iconic character in the beloved 2004 cult classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

克莱门蒂娜。这是一个美丽的法国宝宝名字,2004年凯特·温丝莱特在经典电影《美丽心灵的永恒阳光》中扮演的标志性角色让这个名字广为流传。

Its association with the iconic folk ballad "Oh My Darling, Clementine" is surely the reason it conjures up images of belles of the Old West, despite its exotic French origins.

尽管它起源于具有异国情调的法国,但它与标志性的民谣《噢,我亲爱的克莱门蒂娜》的联系,无疑使人联想起那位西部美女。

"Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine. You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine."

“噢,亲爱的,克莱门蒂娜。你永远走了,不再回来,我真懊悔,克莱门蒂娜。”

The name also describes a species of delicious mandarin sweet orange.

这个名字也是一种美味的柑橘。

So an adorable baby picture of your little Clementine enjoying a juicy clementine on a summer's day might just be the perfect item for a custom baby calendar.

因此,夏天时可爱的小克莱门蒂娜手持多汁的柑橘的照片可以说是一个完美的定制婴儿日历。

Otis. When most older people hear the name Otis, they probably think of the kindly old gentleman from down the street. Or they might also think of iconic musician Otis Redding.

奥蒂斯。当大多数老年人听到奥蒂斯这个名字时,他们可能会想到街上那位和蔼的老先生。或者他们也可能想到音乐家奥蒂斯·雷丁。

If they're a kid, however, they probably think of Otis the pug-pup, sidekick to the tabby cat Milo, in Milo and Otis.

然而,如果他们还是个孩子,他们可能会想到《子猫物语》中虎纹小猫米罗的伙伴——哈巴狗奥提斯。

In any case, this fabulous vintage name, which means "wealthy," is coming back in style: Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis chose it for their son, as did actor Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer.

无论如何,这个寓意“富有”的复古名字又再次流行起来了:奥利维亚·王尔德和杰森·苏戴奇斯及演员托比·马奎尔和他的妻子詹妮弗·梅耶也选择了这个名字。

Matilda. From Roald Dahl's telekinetic Matilda to Natalie Portman's Mathilda in The Professional, this German name is fast-becoming a household favorite.

玛蒂尔达。从罗尔德·达尔的《玛马蒂尔达》一书到娜塔莉·波特曼在《这个杀手不太冷》中饰演的玛蒂尔达,这个德国名字正迅速成为家喻户晓的最爱。

It's a powerful name that literally means "battle-mighty," which gives it a great feminist connotation. The past decade-plus has ushered in a veritable boom of baby Matildas among celebs.

这是一个强有力的名字,字面意思是“强力战斗”,赋予其女权主义的内涵。过去的十多年里,在名人中掀起了一场名副其实的玛蒂尔达热潮。

Matilda is the daughter of actress Michelle Williams and the late, great actor Heath Ledger, and also the daughter of chef Gordon Ramsay.

女演员米歇尔·威廉姆斯和已故伟大演员希斯·莱杰,以及厨神戈登·拉姆齐都为女儿取名玛蒂尔达。

And if a child can survive Gordon Ramsay, she can survive anything. "He's really tough on me."

如果一个孩子能在戈登·拉姆齐的手下挺过来,那她遇到任何事都能挺过去。“他对我真的很严厉。”
