For me: GAVIN. Omg, in Florida, it’s ridiculoussssssssssssss! very kid & their nephew is named Gavin.

In Hawai’i: Lani names. They are very popular elsewhere but also in Hawai’i- xD Not nearly as popular as Gavin in FL, though.

[name_f]Emma[/name_f]. Emmas everywhere. Also, [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Olivia!!! It’s so popular that it’s beyond predictable especially the name [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Also hyphenated names my goodness everyone has a hyphenated name especially including [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for girls. Honestly I know hundreds of children with hyphenated names the latest baby born in my social circle is a boy named Freddie-Jay. I know a Carla-Rose, Peyton-Rose, Lily-Rose, Isla-Rose, Mia-Rose, Lydia-Rose, Ellie-Mae, Lily-Mae, Ivy-May, Ivy-Blu, Ivy-Grace, Ritchie-Ray, Alfie-Jay, Tommy-James and now Freddie-Jay it’s ridiculous how many children have hyphenated first names!
