This is sort of an odd observation I’ve recently had–and it could be just me–but it seems that names that start with “R” are getting more popular. At least where I live. There aren’t very many “R” names that are in the top 100, so it’s not specific name, but the letter seems to be everywhere.
My daughter, [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], is almost 2, and at her day-care and friends with kids with the same ages have introduced me to:
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_u]Remington[/name_u]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_u]Ray[/name_u]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_u]Risa[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Reece[/name_u]
[name_m]Roger[/name_m]
A good friend of mine (who’s kid is about the same age) almost named her son [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], another almost had a [name_m]Robert[/name_m], and another friend plans to have a [name_u]Reagan[/name_u] for her next child regardless of gender. [name_m]Even[/name_m] at the park the other day was a [name_u]Roy[/name_u] and [name_u]Riley[/name_u] who appeared to be around 3-4.
So is it just me, or is “R” the next letter that will catch on even if none of the “R” names makes top 10?
