Ryder and Luca
these are common‽
Any of the popular biblical names like John, Mark and Paul.
I’d argue that those names are the least likely to decrease in popularity, unless Bible following religions become significantly less popular.
Every Paul I’ve ever met has been an unrelenting asshole.
Tabithas everywhere in schools today.
What schools are those?
Middle schools where my wife works.
Brayden, Brittany. Anything from Game of Thrones.
Assuming the GoT babies didn’t change their names. Imagine having a name that others yourself from everyone else and it comes from a fake culture in a fake world.
All name are made up. Besides this is nothing new, there’s a lot of media that inspires baby names. I have s friend who’s kids are all named after Inception characters.
Brittany was big in the 80s, now not so much
I’m still going to name my kid Aenys
They hate us 'cause they anus.
“Hey Anus, how’s it hanging?”
Oh you know, just hanging out
How about NOT setting your kid up for the nickname ‘Prolapse’
shooting the breeze
Yuuup lol I came here specifically to comment “Khaleesi”
i feel “Reek” has some staying power. never grows old.
never grows old.
Neither will Rickon
Ayden, Brayden, Kayden, Bobayden… Can probably generalize this to “unique” spellings like Kayleygh, Kyrsrtyn, etc.
Waiting for Ruth to be popular again. No one makes pies like Ruth.
I sincerely hope those dumbass “unique” spellings go away.
Some of them might become the new normal spelling, just as with so many other names and wyrds
I’m not sure if it’s very common, but Elaine. It’s my name and I love it, but I’m already seeing people who think it’s kind of an old woman’s name! 😅
It’s a name for all ages. So old people too
It has grace. A little, anyway
All of them?
Seems like there’s a way to analyze this in a systematic way, from social security name data. Any name that popped up as a newly popular name and fell back off within a decade or two would probably eventually become a marker of that generation.
Gladys was popular between 1900 and 1920, and became known as an old lady name by the 80’s or 90’s.
Karen was popular between 1945 and 1965, and is regarded a prototypical boomer name.
The Baby Jessicas of the 80’s will be retirees in the 2050’s. Ashleys and Emilys will probably be that in the 2060’s. There will be Britneys and Emmas.
But the methodology could probably be applied to the data in a systematic way.
Nearly all of the names on this list, minus, perhaps, the classics (David, Michael, John, etc.).
I am thankful that my wife and I agreed not to give our boys idiotic names like “Verility” (and you just know that it would be misspelled as such) or “Grayson” and whatnot, yet also not trendy shit like “Oliver”.
Wait, what’s wrong with Oliver? I always thought it was a normal but uncommon name that was making a comeback as an uncommon name again, lol
Never met anyone with the name, though
Not yet you haven’t. Oliver and Olivia are, as of last year, both in the top three in England and Wales as well as the US, Canada and Australia and, at least in Britain, have been there or close for the last decade or so.
Basically, they haven’t quite grown up yet, but expect an increase of them making their own way in the world in 10-20 years.

maybe brock or allen. i dunno, infamous names in this generation.
Todd Kyle Chad
Like the rapist Brock Allen Turner?
Rapist Allen Turner, aka rapist Brock Turner, who got a 6-month slap-on-the-wrist sentence for what his father called (and I quote) “twenty minutes of action”? That rapist Allen Turner (aka rapist Brock Turner)? The one who only served 3 months?!
Mine. I have one of the most common girl’s name in the year of my birth. About 10% of my female high school classmates had some variant of that name. I know of one girl under 10 with that name now.
Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelyn, Kaitlin, Catelynn, Keightlynne
Lol, nailed it.
Holly sounds like a sweet name now, but you can almost feel it become the next Nancy.
My bet is on unabbreviated names like Samantha, Nathaniel, Joshua. Any name that isn’t already the abv. version. I think people will go towards the Sam’s, Nate’s/Nathan’s and Josh’s. No reason to think this just a gut feeling.
Riley, Jayden, Kaden, Aiden, and hopefully Damien.
