[name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f], [name_m]Ford[/name_m], & [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] were most surprising for me – maybe because they’re so present here on Nameberry that they feel more relevant than they really are? The quickly falling -ley names (Kinsley, [name_f]Tinley[/name_f], etc.) don’t surprise me at all, because they were definitely very trendy… and I will admit I’m not sad to see them go. On the other hand, I was actually a big fan of the [name_m]Elliott[/name_m] / [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] (g) popularity, and I’m frankly shocked that it’s fading so quickly!
I can see [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] & [name_m]Niko[/name_m] reviving, just because they don’t seem to have as much of a quick peak as the others – [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] has been at a steady incline since the 70s, and [name_m]Niko[/name_m] since the early 2000s. Others I can see fading fast include [name_f]Athena[/name_f] and [name_m]Maverick[/name_m], which I’ve seen a lot of lately.
