Help[Opinions] Among the currently trending names, which do you like and dislike?
Among the currently trendy names, I tend to like unisex names like Eden and Sage, and nature names like Aspen and Jade. And many of the currently trending girl names are not my cup of tea.
(And I like trendy names from the past)

I enjoy the rise of vintage names, but despise most surnames-as-first-names (not all!), common word names, bnogs, and to an extent gender-neutral names.

Just thought of brand names. Dior, Lexus, Forbes, and the like. Seems like a consumerist hellscape name.
Nation/country names is another particularly bad trend. You’re one global incident away from having your kid’s name associated with a war, natural disaster, or terrorist event. All the kids named Israel or Zion this year I just know are getting teased even if they support Palestine.

I hate noun names. Name your dog Dream, Chai, or Bentley. Not your kid.
I do love older names and some Greek and Roman names seeing a spike in popularity.

Love the resurgence of vintage names that were old when I was a kid. Just met a little Edith.
Hate, hate, hate surname as first names, common word names, and as always, bnogs.

Love: Gem names, flower names, names ending with -elle/-ella
Hate: Unisex names, -ley names and all their variations, -lyn/-lynn names, random five-letter A names
I also think word names are trending in the wrong direction. I love a lot of word names, but not a lot of the ones that are currently trending.

Hate creative spelling and word names
Well I love the trajectory of the "vintage classic" names trend. I like a lot of them (Theodore, Henry, Sebastian, Eleanor, Amelia, Josephine etc). I especially love the vintage nature names (like Hazel, Violet, Ivy, Daisy, Ruby, etc). They are so sturdy and adorable.
I hate the way word names seem to be heading, with things like Maverick, Legend, Journee, and Genesis being used. I enjoy word names, but not like this. Not like this.
