Thoughts on trendy baby names?

Change in Popularity I found this list today and was really surprised by it. What names on here are you surprised grew so much? For me it was [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Belinda[/name_f] and [name_f]Eileen[/name_f] for the girls(they didn’t seem ready for revival) and for boys: [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Deacon[/name_m], [name_m]Royal[/name_m], [name_u]Legend[/name_u] and [name_m]Kash[/name_m] (they seem so far out there). I was sad to see [name_m]Lennon[/name_m] and [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] on the girls list I don’t consider them girls names at all. What surprised you about this list? What names do you like?

I was a little sad to see so many of the names I love on the rise…

[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_f]Mercy[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Isis[/name_f].
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m], [name_m]Anson[/name_m], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Samson[/name_m], [name_m]Royal[/name_m], [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], [name_u]Sterling[/name_u], [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m], [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], [name_m]Moses[/name_m], [name_u]Bo[/name_u], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_m]Augustine[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_u]Noel[/name_u], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_u]Blaise[/name_u], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m].
I’m also secretly happy to see them rise… ^^ It’s quite bittersweet.
I think [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] surprised quite a few :slight_smile:

Accidental double-post. Sorry!

I was surprised by [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u]! I thought they were still much less popular than that. I can’t say I’m opposed to the love they’re getting, though! I’ve got both on my list currently, and really love them. I am a bit surprised by how popular [name_f]Aria[/name_f] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] got, even though I know about their meteoric rises. I have a coworker who really wants to use [name_u]Arya[/name_u] for his daughter, and they decided against [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] when they found out how popular she was. I wonder if he knows how utterly trendy [name_f]Aria[/name_f]/[name_u]Arya[/name_u] is?

I was saddened by [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], though. I’ve been banking on the fact that by the time I actually have a daughter (at least in five years’ time, if not more), she’d be close to being out of the top 200. [name_m]Ah[/name_m], well. It’s not like 126 to 115 is that huge of a jump, anyhow. I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], etc. are going to start making way for the new top 10–[name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], etc. Hopefully by then [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] will just be seen as a classic again. :slight_smile:
