I love these trend trackers! Low-key very smart. I agree that [name_m]Cove[/name_m] will get its due in the nature trends, even if sadly [name_f]Corona[/name_f] :crown: is gone!

I kind of like a lot of the Fast Fashion names :person_shrugging: [name_f]Emryn[/name_f], [name_f]Hollyn[/name_f], [name_m]Kendry[/name_m], [name_f]Mayli[/name_f], and [name_f]Sevyn[/name_f] are cool!

And Croc Names!! I love these clunky, awkward, uncool gems that are actually very cool. [name_f]Hester[/name_f], [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] and [name_f]Golda[/name_f] :heart:

I love the soft safe haven names. [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is a love of mine and I would add [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] to that list too. [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] has such a soft cozy sound to it as well as an ‘a’ sound at the end

My son Marshall has a vintage (possibly Croc) name with 2 nicknames that were featured!

Marsh - Landscape
Mars - Otherworldly

Suffice it to say I loved those specific trends!

I also love the “baby” cutesy names - Dolly, Lula, Cub (my fave name that might fall under this category is Bonnie)
and the rebranded country names - Clover, Dottie, Opal, Tillie
and the soft haven names - Shiloh :dove:
and fem names - Cosette, Emerald, Xanthe

I’m surprised [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] didn’t make it on there…it’s gonna be everywhere in a couple years I feel like. (I might’ve missed it).

I understand a lot of these trends.

Global Americana-A lot of the top ten names (Olivia, [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f] for girls; [name_m]Noah[/name_m] and [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] for boys) appeal due to their cross-cultural charm.

Literally “Baby” Names-Josie and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] are near the girls’ top 100 and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] are still rising. [name_f]America[/name_f] is probably catching up with the Brits.

Femininomenal-Aurelia jumped over 100 spots this past year on the charts, [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] is also on the rise, and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is more popular than ever.

Safe [name_f]Haven[/name_f] Names-Eden is in the top 100 (for girls) and [name_f]Haven[/name_f] is on the rise.

Croc Names-Eleanor is a top 20 name and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is a top 10 hit.

[name_f]Gen[/name_f] Z Names-Hazel, at #19, has regained its popularity.

Otherworldly names-Elio is rising and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Nova[/name_f] are hits for girls.

Fast Fashion names-Blakely is rising alongside [name_f]Oaklynn[/name_f]. I’ve seen Riverlynn/Riverly below the top 1000, too.

However, “rebranded” country names like [name_f]Abilene[/name_f] don’t sound much different from [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] nor is it anywhere near the top 100. Place names like [name_f]Vale[/name_f] and [name_m]Cove[/name_m], too, are nowhere near the top of the charts.

saw so many great names!

i saw some that have always been on my short list were seen under safe haven & femininomemal: [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Halo[/name_f], [name_f]Circe[/name_f] & [name_f]Solana[/name_f]

some that i was pleasantly surprised by:
[name_m]Kendry[/name_m], [name_m]Kyaire[/name_m] & [name_f]Mayli[/name_f] from fast fashion
[name_m]Bash[/name_m], [name_m]Rook[/name_m] & [name_m]Suede[/name_m] from baby names
[name_m]Navarone[/name_m] from country rebrand

i think its a great lineup! it would be interesting to see something like this with name combinations like fn mn! or even sibling sets idk, just something that popped in my head
