I’ve been searching/playing around with names, but really haven’t been serious until now. There seems to be millions of names out there! We don’t want to know the sex but want to be prepared with a boy & a girl’s name.
My question is…In your opinion what are the Fresh, Hot, & Popular names for the upcoming 2020 school child? Figuring our new little one will be in elementary school, when names really start to count…what are the popular names going to be? Looking forward to hearing all opinions!!!
I think we will be back to traditional-sounding names - [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Violette[/name], [name]Primrose[/name], [name]Elisabeth[/name], [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Cassandra[/name], etc. for girls. Of course, I am biased because those are all names that I love so I want to assume they will be popular 
They may not be popular but I think they will sound very pretty on a little girl! I would stay away from anything that sounds like it came out of the '80’s - [name]Debbie[/name] and [name]Laurie[/name] and [name]Jennie[/name] have gone out of style! For boys, I also like traditional names like [name]William[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]August[/name], [name]Brian[/name], etc. These are the kinds of names that will never go out of style! Good luck and congratulations!
You are certainly correct! There are so many names out there it is difficult to really know or decide what is hot. [name]IMO[/name]…the word names and place names are going to be up there. I also think that musical or botanical names are popular. Also, the old fashioned, vintage, or royal names because people like to hand down names for their ancestory.
Word names:
[name]Holiday[/name]
[name]Secret[/name]
[name]Whimsy[/name]

The [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Isabella[/name] set & I’ve met a few girls names [name]Olive[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], any a lot of-bella variants. A few girls called [name]Fiona[/name] in my neighborhood as well…[name]Violet[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Emma[/name] still going strong too. [name]Claire[/name] & [name]Clara[/name] & [name]Ellie[/name] & [name]Addie[/name] & [name]Kate[/name].
I think that there will be more variety than when/where I was in grade school.
I think there will be a wide range and a larger variety than ever when it comes to names in the 2020’s! Most likely the florals, gems, sir names, and quirky/unisex names will start to take over.
Floral names - [name]Lily[/name], [name]Posie[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Katniss[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Jasmine[/name], & [name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Gem[/name] names like - [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Saphire[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Diamond[/name], & [name]Topaz[/name]
Sir names - [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Maddox[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Riley[/name], [name]Cooper[/name], [name]Presley[/name], [name]Kennedy[/name] & [name]Harlow[/name]
Unisex - [name]Delaney[/name], [name]Jordan[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Hayden[/name], [name]Monroe[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], & [name]Honor[/name]
I believe the names of today are starting to make a statement.
I’ll say [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Johanna[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Clarissa[/name], [name]Theresa[/name], [name]Jessamine[/name], and [name]Daisy[/name], due to various fictional characters that will be getting increased media exposure over the next few years. Most people seem to want something fresh yet familiar, i.e. [name]Emily[/name] to [name]Emma[/name], [name]Madison[/name] to [name]Addison[/name], etc.
I agree that word names are big. I also think Biblical names will stay strong…esp for the boys.
I don’t think it’ll change all that much. But I do think classic names like [name]Henry[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and such will get more common/popular.
I think classic and frilly will be popular for girls ie: [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Christine[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Francine[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and [name]Emily[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Jayla[/name], [name]Calista[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Isabella[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name].
For boys I think the rougher consanant sounding names like: [name]Jaxson[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Dexter[/name], [name]Xavier[/name], [name]Maximus[/name], [name]River[/name], [name]Mavrick[/name], [name]Cruz[/name] and [name]Garrett[/name].
Also, biblical names like: [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Jebadiah[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], and [name]Elspeth[/name].
