Re: Why does Everybody Like Such Weird Names Lately?
in reply to a message by SamBelden
If you think that modern names are weird, you should have seen a thread we had a few days ago about some odd Victorian names- Farting Clark, Princess Cheese, I can't think of the rest, but Jaden/ Brayden/ Kaden et al are more normal than some of those.
It's like with clothes and pop culture. Things come and go. There's retro names- after your grandparents, great grandparents, etc; modern like Jaden, Madison, Fox (I know a 6 yr old with this); behind the times names like Jennifer (I have 2 students with this name), Ryan, Rebecca; following the trends- Isabella, Joshua, Emily; and the names that stand out but the parents don't care- Sebastian (in the farming community where I work, that one is out of place imo), Trelee, Lakelyn.
