• Old-Fashioned Dog Names: Vintage Classics Due for a Comeback

  There is a particular joy in calling a tiny puppy by a grand old name. Vintage human names from the grandparent era have quietly become some of the best dog names going, and this guide reframes the trend as a comeback rather than a relic. The charm is in the contrast: a six-pound terrier named Mortimer or a snoring bulldog named Reginald wears a borrowed dignity it has not remotely earned, and the effect is warm and funny. These names are timeless too, already weathered by a century of use, so they will not date the way this season trend will. The article is organised by feel rather than alphabet, walking through the grand old ladies like Augusta and Edith, the distinguished gentlemen such as Walter and Cornelius, the sweet diminutives Alfie, Nellie and Mabel, the names already cool again like Hazel, Ruby, Oscar and Theodore, plus jewel and bloom names, sturdy surnames, and a closing note on shortening long names into crisp call-names.
