I know everyone has different styles, and popular names are “popular for a reason” (gag) but is there a name you are just so sick of hearing/reading/thinking about? Aside from the obvious top 10 names and of course -ayden names, here are some I am so over…
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] - I am sooo over it. I started meeting little [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]'s when I was in high school (2000-2004) and I am STILL meeting them. The original crop of [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]'s are graduating high school and there are still zillions in diapers. Maybe it’s where I live but I feel like there are [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]'s everywhere.
[name_u]River[/name_u] - I’ve only met [name_m]IRL[/name_m] a handful of people named [name_u]River[/name_u] but I am so sick of reading about it on naming forums. [name_f]Every[/name_f] time someone asks for nature inspired names (aka, every. single. day.) the suggestions read “[name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], Balsamic Vinegar, Pride [name_m]Rock[/name_m], etc. etc. etc.” It was a cool suggestion like…15 years ago.
There are certainly others too, and I’m sure you have a few, so please share because sometimes I think I’m crazy for how tired I get of some names.
Note: If your name or your child’s name is listed please don’t be offended. Nobody loves every name - I’m sure many hate mine
