HelpMen and outmoded names
Before I get started I just wanted to say I do not mean this in a derogatory or hurtful sort of way merely from a sociological perspective and not as an attack on men or their taste in names.
What I wanted to ask was why is it that it would seem, in general, men seem to be more drawn to to out of fashion names? Not necessarily name savy ones just generally speaking. Such as names of their parents or grandparents generation that haven't made the full "cycle" yet. Could it be because it reminds them of paternal figures and positive associations? Or because they see them as more "sturdy" and practical in usage when compared to the modern counterparts of the time? A "tried and true" mindset? Less likely to take the social "risk" of a modern name?
This has merely been my interpretation of how I have seemed to find the general consensus of name styles for the social circle I know if you feel differently about your own experiences feel free to express it. As for any guys on here I'd love for some insight as well. Once again I do not mean to imply all men, even among my own circles, only the pattern that I have noticed with some. And I do not imply that these out of fashion names are "bad" but only that of a different style. Thank you.
