Celebrity naming style?
What is an A-listers naming style and is there such a thing? Here’s a list of celebrities that had babies in the past year (siblings are in the brackets), so what do you think?
As always, you can comment on the names themselves:-)
And which ones do you think will become the next Ava, Coco, Violet, etc?

I can see three trends:-completely new and unique names (Kingston, Zuma, Rock, Nahla, Avis, Hania, Story, Peanut, Trig, Track, Braven, etc.)-names we’ve all heard, but have never (or very rarely) met anyone with this name (Sunday, Honor, Nesta, Knox, Ignatius, Ptolemy,
Orion, Shaya, Archibald, Birdie, Zev, Valentine, etc.)-common, even boring and overused names (Madison, Emma, Olivia, Henry, Thomas David, Brendan Joseph, Ava, etc.)And of course, honouring is as popular among the rich and famous as it is in the general population (Honor MARIE, Sunday ROSE, KNOX Léon, Vivienne MARCHELINE, CURTIS MUHAMMAD, SAWYER Lucia, Stella DOREEN, Emme MIRABEL, Maximilian DAVID, Braydon HART, Orion CHRISTOPHER, Bailey LINDA Olwyn, etc.)
Disclaimer: I know some of these are not strictly ‘A-listers’, but I mentioned people that: I like / are popular even in Croatia / the ones I think will influence future naming trends with their children’s names.
If there any others you feel should be on the list, just mention it in your post and I’ll add them.

Emma is my favortie girls name and I prefer an unusual mn with a common first name (say Aurelia or Aurora). Winston James just sounds handsome and a well rounded choose.

The next Coco? Coco isn't exactly a popular or trendy name is it?The next Ava/Olivia:Sadie
Piper
Harper
Clementine
Vivienne
Stella
Matilda
Ruby
Harlow
MileyKingston isn't a completely new name as far as I know. I know a little girl named Kingston. I think if it's going to be popular it will be for girls.Avis is a very old name, actually. I doubt that it will become popular. Even though close to Ava it always makes me think of the car rental company.I don't think any of those "new" names will be popular except for Story which does have a lot potential.I think Orion, Archibald and Zev could make it.
