280+ 70s Baby Names with Vintage, Retro and Groovy Style

The 1970s had a recognizable naming style, but the cleanest way to define it is through real birth records. Social Security Administration decade data ranks the most frequently recorded US boy and girl names from 1970 through 1979.

This list uses 140 girl names and 140 additional boy names from those official rankings. That keeps the retro angle factual while still giving you enough range beyond the decade’s most obvious top-ten choices.
