I feel like the long A sound (i.e. [name]Aiden[/name] etc) gets a lot of attention for its rising popularity, but I think long I is doing the same thing.
Here is a long list of boys names with this sound. A * indicates what I think is rising popularity, - indicates falling or still not in style, ? is unclear.
What am I forgetting? Or did I get some of the trends wrong?
Thanks and enjoy!
