I've noticed a "ley" and "er" trend for girls lately!

Has anyone noted the growing trend of girl names ending in “ley” and “er”? Recent baby girl names from friends and acquaintances:

[name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_f]Tinley[/name_f]

I hadn’t noticed an -er trend but I have seen the -ley trend. The -ley trend seems to have variations like -ly, -ley, -lay so like [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Connelly[/name_u].
