[Opinions] Re: What boy names do you think are not classic/timeless?
I actually disagree with some of the gen z alpha names. Asher is a Bible name. I can see that maintaining popularity. As well as other Bible names which have always maintained a presence like Levi, Noah, and Eli/Elias/Elijah, Ezra and Ezekiel. Arlo I can even see becoming a “classic.” However I think you hit the nail on the head with Kai and Knox—trendy, somewhat meaningless monosyllabic names are too insubstantial to stay, as well as surnames like Walker, Lincoln, Parker, Maddox, Logan, Carter, and even Colton. Come a decade or two and it will be obvious from the name alone when this person was born.

I feel like Logan and Carter might have staying power.
Could be. I knew a Logan that was a teenager when I was maybe 5, so it’s obviously been around a while.
Thank you.
