Favorite and Least Favorite Trendy Name?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m just curious, what are some of your least favorite names out of the current trends? Personally, I’m not a massive fan of [name_u]Oakley[/name_u] or [name_u]Everly[/name_u], but love [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f].

How about you guys?

I’m not fond of [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]. I love [name_m]Cru[/name_m], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], and [name_u]James[/name_u] (girl)

I am not sure of what is considered trendy these days, so I will be going by the popular names on Nameberry. These are from the Top 25.

I love [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], and [name_u]Hazel[/name_u]. Tbh, I am so sick of meeting little girls named [name_f]Layla[/name_f] (and all other spelling variants). It’s by far the name I come across the most where I live.

Not keen on [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Ava[/name_f], but love [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], and [name_f]Greta[/name_f].

i’m not a big fan of emma, amelia, or ava. i just hear them so often! i love just about every other “trendy”
name though, as long as it’s unique enough!

Like: [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
Dislike: [name_u]Ryder[/name_u]

Dislike: [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_u]Aria[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u]

Like: [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]

I really like the names [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Liam[/name_u], and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

A lot of the other current trendy names I’m pretty neutral on, but… I’ve never been a fan of [name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_f]Emily[/name_f], I don’t care for the name [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and I strongly dislike the names [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].

[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
Least favorite: [name_f]Everleigh[/name_f] and [name_u]Grey[/name_u]

I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] are objectively great names (although way too popular for my tastes nowadays).

I used to be the biggest [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] hater out there but it’s alright to me now. I don’t think I will ever come around to [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], or [name_u]Collins[/name_u]. [name_f]Special[/name_f] shout out to the current trend of plural nouns especially as boys names (Banks, [name_m]Wells[/name_m], etc). I’m sorry but I am such a hater towards those names :rofl: I’ve said this before in another thread but I’ve worked with a [name_u]Collins[/name_u] and a [name_u]Parks[/name_u] and to me they just don’t really work as first names in real life.

Going by local trends…

[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_f]Stella[/name_f], Clay(ton), [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_u]Hazel[/name_u]

Least favorite: [name_f]Adalyn[/name_f], -on names, -lee names, [name_m]Brantly[/name_m], -s names as in [name_u]Rivers[/name_u] and [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]

I agree about disliking last name names ending with s (Collins et al). Other trendy ones I don’t like are [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] names. I do like [name_u]Everly[/name_u] though, as well as [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f].

i think i have quite a few trendy names on my list but it’s kind of difficult to tell what is and what isn’t ‘trendy’.

my favourites are mia, charlotte, lily, maeve, leo, oliver and theo while i would say my least favourites are august, violet, liam and aurora.

I’m tired of --den/-er ending names such as [name_u]Kayden[/name_u], [name_u]Brayden[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], etc. Plus the names [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_f]Cassie[/name_f], [name_u]Casey[/name_u]. I don’t mind nickname names, but these just feel over done to me.

I pretty much love all other trends, such as word names, mythology, and vintage gems :sparkles:

Looking at trendy names in [name_u]England[/name_u] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m].

I like: [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f] / [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]Edward[/name_u], [name_u]Joseph[/name_u]
Personally wouldn’t use: [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] / all the nicknamey names - [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_u]Alfie[/name_u], [name_u]Tommy[/name_u], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_u]Albie[/name_u], [name_u]Reggie[/name_u], [name_u]Ronnie[/name_u] etc. (also not a huge fan of [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], Hudson)
