24 Trending Baby Names from the 1970’s That Were Equal Parts Classic and Dramatic

January 27, 2025 by Natalie Rubinfeld

Choosing a name for your kid can be as fun or as daunting as you allow it to be. Some people draw from family heritage, while others scour baby name books in search of something fresh. Oftentimes, the culture (both popular and otherwise) deeply influences the names we choose for our future offspring. And in the 1970s, well-known singers and actors would have a profound impact on kindergarten attendance sheets. In this list, we explore 24 names that were wildly trending in the 1970s, including a well-known face that might have had something to do with it.

#1: Jennifer

Jennifer was the reigning queen of baby names in the 1970s. If there weren’t at least three Jennifers in your class, you were very much missing out on a quintessential ’70s childhood. The popularity was partly due to Jennifer Cavalleri, a tragic character from the well-loved 1970 movie, Love Story.
