Since I know that super trendy names are not well loved here on Nameberry, I thought it might be fun to discuss some of these names that are outside our own personal styles, but that we actually (maybe secretly love). Or they could be uncommon/tryndy spellings. Anything!
Katelyn is one of my absolute favorite names! Contrary to most Berries (it seems), I actually really like names with uncommon spellings as well many trendy names.
I really think [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], McKenna, [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_u]Payton[/name_u], [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], and [name_f]Alison[/name_f] are all adorable on girls. (I don’t really care for any of the more kre8iv spellings of any of those, but the names themselves are pretty cute.)
For boys, I love [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Bradley[/name_u], [name_m]Bennet[/name_m], [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_m]Macklin[/name_m], [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], [name_m]Westley[/name_m], and [name_u]Wilder[/name_u].
None of these are favourites, nor really tryndy, but a couple that don’t line up with my usual ‘type’ are:
[name_f]Roselyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Lacey[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
The first one to come to mind is any spelling of [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]! I’ve always adored the name, so much so that throughout my journey of naming myself, I’ve always included it somewhere despite it being so popular. ([name_u]Eliot[/name_u] is currently my second middle name )
I like [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]! I also like most -ayden names, although the classic [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] is my favorite. Maybe it’s because I know a lot of sweet kids named [name_m]Kaeden[/name_m]/Jaden/Hayden etc, the names feel like they’re everywhere but it doesn’t make it feel overexposed, at least to me, it’s just that they’re so common it’s no longer standing out, just giving me sort of a softly ordinary sense of “oh [name_m]Kaeden[/name_m]? That’s my mom’s friend’s grandson’s name and he’s super cute, and then there’s that little [name_m]Caden[/name_m] that lives down the street”, etc.
I have always had a secret love of [name_f]Gracelyn[/name_f]! Also secretly like [name_u]Brinley[/name_u], [name_u]Bailey[/name_u], [name_u]Jaycee[/name_u], [name_f]Macie[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u].
Oooo there’s quite a lot: [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_u]Grayson[/name_u], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] to name a few!!
