Help[Opinions] Re: New names in the US Top 1000
in reply to a message by Uilos
Most of them didn't really surprised me, as I didn't bother to anticipate which new names would be added. Pretty much just hoping to see Elowen. *sigh* lol! But the ones that did happen to surprise me include: Elon (Parents aren't bothered by the namesake, Elon Musk?! & Ryder (thousand times worse on a girl. OMG. Really hope this one doesn't take off. It sounds sexual
I like these ones the most:
Eleanora (Not very surprising, given that 'Eleanor' is trending, along with a few 'El' names)
Vida
Elia (Eliah is so close! But I have a strong feeling parents are prounciation this one differently for girls)
Dalia
Guinevere (Prefer Genevieve though)
Azria
Arlette (LOVE! Glad to see it, but not much surprised seeing how Charlotte and Scarlett are trending, along with some 'Et' ending names I think...
Adrien (But always prefer spelling of 'Adrian')
Alfonso: (Not a favorite of mine per se, but it's fun to say. Reminds me of the actor who played Carlton from 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'
Dimitri (Don't know which spelling is my favorite though. Seems to be so many)
Elio (Although it does make me think of pizza, for some strange reason)
Eliam (seems ok, but would rather see 'Elian' or 'Eliah')
Azriel (Like but not as much as 'Azrael' A name I just find very cool)
Cassian (Prefer to see Cassander though, or even Cassius)
I wondered which names we lost this year though. I know Karen fell off (No surprise there) and I think Gerald and Brett. Wonder which others. /:

These names fell off the Top 1000
https://www.behindthename.com/names/browse.php?operator_popularity=is&value_popularity[]=united-states&yearoperator_popularity=is&year_popularity[]=2020&rankoperator_popularity=is&operator_popularity2=isnot&value_popularity2[]=united-states&yearoperator_popularity2=is&year_popularity2[]=2021&rankoperator_popularity2=is
As you pointed out, there is no surprise why Karen fell off. Many of these names feel dated to me (and I'm not even American), but I'd like to know other explanations.

Belle may not be as popular because it sounds like bell. When it comes to instruments, it seems like names/words that mean "person who plays the instrument" are more popular than instruments as names. Harper and Piper are common but not Harp and Pipe. I could see Carillonneur taking off as a name.
