Help[Opinions] Names that you don't understand
Are there any names you just don't get? Names that made the top 100 (or maybe top 150 or so) that make you wonder why they're popular, even when you try to see them from an objective point of view?
I don't mean names that you just dislike. But names that you just don't get the popularity of, even when you try to be objective. Maybe the others can reply and say why they think the name became popular, if they have a different point of view.
I'll start, by just giving one example. I will add more in a separate post later.
Jocelyn - I personally don't think it has an attractive sound, but even trying from an objective point of view I don't really get it. It seems to harsh and abrupt to have landed in the top 100 when it did, along with all the soft, vowel-heavy names. It would have fit much better in the 1940s along with Judith, Judy, Marilyn and Carolyn.
