I just received the newest Pottery [name]Barn[/name] catalog and I like to read through the names that will probably end up being extremely popular in the near future… but this time I was surprised.

So are there any surprises for you on the list? Would having your fave name on this list make you reconsider using it? What do you think?
[name]Kamryn[/name] and [name]Brayden[/name] seem out of place (A little declasse for PB”sorry if that sounds snooty!). I wonder where the names come from…employees’ kids?
[name]Jennifer[/name] and [name]Jenny[/name] are very surprising! I would have predicted they get some use in this generation, because of daughters being named after their mothers/aunts/parents’ friends, but hardly so much use.
PB names are always all over the place. I would love to have their marketing strategy explained to me. I imagine it has something to do with using very middle-of-the-road, conformist names since PB seems to market to a wide array of customers. They do not want to come of as hipster or edgy.
[name]Reagan[/name] is my nieces name and my sister was so upset when she found out that it made it to the catalog! Hopefully some of these names won’t be picked up. I don’t want [name]Henry[/name] to get uber popular either!
I do like it. I have not run into many others and when I do their names are usually [name]Cassandra[/name] or [name]Cassidy[/name]. I hated it when I was younger, but I really love it now, it suits me.
