How to choose the right 90s name?
Finding a 90s name that speaks to you
You want a name that evokes the 90s for your child? Great! These names often have a little touch of nostalgia. Some will win you over with their originality, others with their soft or iconic feel from that era. Take the time to say them out loud, imagine them in your everyday life, and let yourself be drawn to the ones that make you smile and seem made to last.
A name that matches the last name
One simple trick: say the name with the last name. Does it sound good? Is it easy to pronounce and pleasant to the ear? Even for a "retro" name, this check helps make sure the combination is harmonious in everyday life.
Ask your loved ones for their opinion
Talking about names with those around you can open up a whole range of new possibilities! Your friends, your family… or even your colleagues — sometimes an unexpected suggestion can lead to a wonderful discovery. And who knows, that might just be where you find the perfect name you fall in love with.
Get inspired… and follow your instincts
Go for a safe bet or dare to choose a classic that's a little less common. The important thing is to follow your instincts: the name that feels obvious to you will inevitably be the right one. Find more ideas in our name catalogue, to help you make the best choice.
