If the four-generation rule applies (in general), then...

why are there so many names that are becoming popular that were trendy when I grew up? I was born in the late 70’s, so I really didn’t think that people would be naming their children trendy names from the 70’s and 80’s now. Why are these names becoming popular again? Can anyone think of any other names that you’re friends had? I just can’t see my friend’s names on my children, not that there is anything wrong with them. I don’t understand how these are in the top 100.
