[Opinions] Re: Why isn't a "trendy" name considered a good sign?
In addition to everything already said, I think sometimes if you hear a name too much on too many people it wears out and no longer sounds pleasant. So you might like a name, but then after it's popular for a while, it's just kind of boring and lifeless.

I think that is also part of it. I remember names that were super popular when I was in high school, for example Stephanie. After hearing it 4 or 5 times a day, everyday in high school, it just becomes boring. You hear it so often that you don't really see the quality of it anymore.But now that I take a step back and just look at the name in itself, it's not a bad name. Is it my top choice? Probably not. But it sounds feminine enough and flows well when you say it out loud. Like it's a very fine and normal name. Also (kind of ironically), a baby girl born in 2024 named Stephanie would probably be the only one in her class. ;-)
