Re: Report: American baby boys' names ending in letter 'n' trend

Fabulous graphics! I could watch them for a long, long time.
I haven't noticed a similar trend where I live - there are the odd examples of course, as there are of any naming trends that start/go viral in the US. Lots of Kate and Amy people, for instance. But we don't have a system for reporting (or even collecting) naming stats so it's hard to say.
What interests me is how the -n names break down into the brand-spanking-new and the so-old-they-count-as-classic. Jayden and Raiden; Aiden and Ethan. But Martin and Alan are nowhere to be found, so not all -n names are in favour at any given time.
