Vintage V-Names for Baby Girls

Vintage girl names starting with V

Are you in the market for a beautiful name for a baby girl? If you're after a V-name with a vintage vibe, you've come to the right place. From cool comeback names (Vera, Violet) to some seriously old-fashioned options (Verna, anyone?), vintage girl names starting with "V" have range. Here are some options to get your wheels turning.

  1. Violet. Okay, this beautiful floral-inspired girl's name has become almost too popular to be considered "old-fashioned", but we just feel this list wouldn't be complete without it.
  2. Vera. Vera used to have a bit of a throwback vibe, but it's found so much favor with the new crop of moms and dads that it barely qualifies as "old-fashioned" by today's naming standards.
  3. Virginia. A V-powered classic with literary cred via Virginia Woolf and patriotic overtones (Virginia was the site of the first permanent English settlement in North America and became known as "the birthplace of a nation"). One caveat though: the virgin associations may make your child a target for teasing later in life.
  4. Vada. Covered with cobwebs for decades, Vada is slowly gaining ground again.
  5. Veda. Just like its sibling Vada, this long-lost name seems to be back in the game.
  6. Vida. This vintage find means "life" in Spanish. How beautiful is that?
  7. Viola. A flower name, musical moniker and Shakespearean choice all in one.
  8. Verna. Hopelessly antiquated? Or ripe for revival? We're not sure.
  9. Vincenza. The name of a Catholic saint, this old-fashioned Italian name might appeal to families with a religious or historic bent.
  10. Verona. Verona combines vintage appeal with place name panache and Shakespearean bona fides.
  11. Velma. Sure, Velma has a bit of a dusty image. But we think the right couple could easily blow the dust off this relic and turn it into a retro-cool baby name.
  12. Vina. Occasionally spotted on birth certificates in the 1920s and 30s, Vina means "vineyard" in Spanish.
  13. Vicki. This Victoria diminutive was actually a popular given name in its own right in the 1950s and 60s.
  14. Vickie. A variation of Vicki.
  15. Virgie. An old-fashioned diminutive for Virginia.
  16. Vonda. Very mid-twentieth century, made famous by singer-songwriter Vonda Shepard.
