We’ve all had it happen to us, a name we like seemingly rises overnight or is already too popular. However, if you could go back to some decades ago, what would you name your child? Would you choose a name that’s too popular for you now knowing it’ll be popular in the future? Would you stay with your current firsts? Let’s see.
What would you name your kids in…
2001:
1991:
1981:
1971:
1961:
So on if you want…
2001: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wynter[/name_u]
1991: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
1981: [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
1971: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
1961: [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
I’d use the same names, they were/are never popular anyway
It would probably stay the same except for the names from decades ago where my favorites are too popular. I would like to try to keep most of my names out of the top 100, but that is practically impossible with 1961!
I just chose some from the top 100 from each year without thinking too hard. 
11: [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
01: [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_u]Evan[/name_u]
91: [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], [name_f]Amber[/name_f]
81: [name_u]Corey[/name_u], [name_f]Tara[/name_f]
71: [name_m]Jason[/name_m], [name_u]Stacey[/name_u]
61: [name_m]Harold[/name_m], [name_u]Beverly[/name_u]
51: [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Susan[/name_f]
I’d use the same names
2001: [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] “[name_u]Ari[/name_u]”
1991: [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
1981: [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] “[name_f]Nessa[/name_f]”
1971: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Erin[/name_f] “[name_f]Libby[/name_f]”
1961: [name_f]Angela[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
Realistically though, would have loved to use [name_f]Luna[/name_f] or [name_f]Mia[/name_f]/Amelia before they got so popular. I would still use pretty much any of the names I listed.
