Bell bottoms and vinyl records aren't the only things making a comeback in 2024—so are baby names from the 1960s! So, if you're searching for the perfect title for your bundle of joy, look no further than the monikers that were grooving their way into the baby books back when the Beatles were topping the charts and shag carpets were all the rage.
From classics like Mark, Charles, Mary, and Susan to far out picks like Randy, Wayne, Vicki, and Wanda, this list will take you on a nostalgic journey through the era of peace, love, and rock 'n' roll—and give you some ideas for your own list. Here, you'll find the top 100 boy names and girl names of the 1960s that you're sure to dig.
Some of the names you'll see here have certainly stood the test of time, while others are just waiting to have their next big moment. And although "Ree" doesn't make the Social Security Administration's official list, we happen to think it deserves a comeback, too. (Part of her given name, Anne Marie, does make the list though!)
