The "Old Money" aesthetic has made its way into modern beauty and style trends, so why not incorporate it into other aspects of culture? These old money-inspired baby names have stood the test of time, and they were often passed down from rich parents to their sons and daughters. (Much like how their family money has trickled down through generations too.)The term "old money" often refers to historically wealthy families like the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts or Carnegies who made it big in their various business ventures. They were then able to pass their riches down to their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren (and so on).Recently, younger generations revived that term and used it for fashion, hair and makeup trends, calling it an "old money" aesthetic. It usually encompasses the sort of chicness, timelessness and subtlety that longtime wealthy people can exude. They're not necessarily flashy; they're not showing off their money with big logos on their clothing. Instead, they can have a more quiet luxury to them. And these 105 old-money baby names(many of which have been used by actual old-money families) carry on that cultural aesthetic.Dive into the most popular old money baby names below, and learn all about their fitting meanings, according to research from A Dictionary of First Names, Ancestry.com, NameBerry and data from the Social Security Administration.Related: 175 Unique Gothic Baby Names and Their Meanings
