There are some names which seem to be super popular on Nameberry but then unheard of in real life…
I’ve heard so many berries with children named/considering the names [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Cordelia[/name], but met no kids with either name [name]IRL[/name]!
And funnily enough, I don’t hear [name]Lionel[/name] talked about much on Nameberry, but I have met/heard of two little Lionels (!!) since the birth of mine just over a year ago…
[name]Do[/name] you think the Nameberry trends will catch on?
What do you think influences the NB trends? This is a question which particularly intrigues me!
Are you talking about actual children named certain names or theoretical combos thrown out in threads? I think there is a diffetence between the two…however, I do notice names used here that I never hear irl. [name]Diversity[/name] of location along with the fact that I think the average name lover likes the classy, unusual and meaningful.
I think Nameberry trends will take a while to catch on [name]IRL[/name], because most of the population aren’t name nerds like us.
Most people around me have no clue what the top names actually are nor do they really care interestingly enough.
I think name forum trends are pretty safe from the general public, a lot of people I know name from names they encounter or the fair few use name books.
