[Opinions] Re: Name predictions for 2021
in reply to a message by BookEm'Danno
Thank you to those that responded. I guess not a lot of people had, or cared to share their predictions for this year. Anyway, here are some of my name predictions for 2021.
~Top 10~
Harper out (Yes, please!) Camila in. (Wouldn't be surprised to see Luna there too, but most likely by the following year, if it does at all.
No new enteries on the boy's side. Wouldn't be surprised to see Oliver at #1, but if not this year than soon. It's inevitable.
~Top 20~
Entering: Eleanor, Hazel (Hope not) Theodore (I definitely see this entering the top 10 within a few years time) Scarlett? Owen? Asher?
Leaving: Emily ); Avery, Sofia? Sebastian?
~Top 100~
Entering Vivian, Raelyn (Please God no!) Melodie, Athena? Eliza, Micah, Beau, Damian, Bennett (Hope not) Waylon (Please God no!)
Leaving: Peyton (Girl's side. Yes, please!) Lydia (So sad. ); Adeline? ); Samantha (Hope so!) Jace, Kayden (Yes, please!) Jose, Adam

I feel the same way about Donald. I mean it isn't just the political...aspect, if you want to call it that. (Being the name of the worst modern president, and quite possibly of all time,) but the fact that the name is just dated. Hardly anyone is naming their child "Donald" anymore, Trump or not. It's an old guy's name. Suitable for ages 50+
If this isn't the year we finally say goodbye to it, then I hope it at least drops significantly. Down -300 spots or something.

I thought so about Luna, but it is weirdly falling in numbers (it went up two spots but the number of it being used went down) so it can only go up if names around it are used even less.
Alexa has recovered a bit in Scotland and went up a tiny bit again.

Uh, I never really thought about that. Thank you for informing me. I just somewhat predicted Luna, only because it seems to be trending like crazy, and it's a name that seems to be getting a lot of buzz and attention.
As for Alexa, I'm pretty sure it's fate has been sealed ever since the electronic device has been introduced. It's a shame because it's actually a pretty nice name. It's a shame to see it dropping significantly because of it. I don't see it recovering any time soon, sadly. Good for Scotland though! (:
