I was going through the names that have increased in popularity and now have a place in the top 1000. Some are really not my style, but some are lovely and it’s nice to see them being used. Boy names are interesting because on the girl list most of the names that have increased are either entirely made-up or just creative spellings, while most of the boy names that have jumped a lot are names from other cultures like [name_m]Benicio[/name_m] and [name_m]Hakeem[/name_m] which are not my style but are perfectly lovely in their own right.
Which are your favorites?
