I think a lot that since names that were a few decades ago considered "grandma names", like Charlotte and Evelyn, there came a new generation of grandmas. Maybe we'll be seeing baby Deborahs, Patricias and Carols in the future.
For specifics, I see Aspen, Banks, Colter, Ford, Baylor, Saylor, Hayes, Palmer, Beau, Ares, Juniper, Asher, Calliope, Wrenley, Briggs, Dream, Brooks, Collins, Eloise, Harlow, Tinley, Freya, Indie rising quickly, though who knows how popular they will actually be 30 years from now. Maybe the trend would have already passed.
Guinevere also ranked in the US top 1000 for the first time in 2022, and I've heard people talking about it online, so maybe it will get more recognition?
There seems to be a lot more surname use, especially more masculine sounding surnames for girls. When I was on tiktok, I did see a lot of people talking how people were going for "princessy" names or something like that, when a woman who's job it is to help people name children talked about how names like Eleanor, Aurora, Penelope, and Ophelia were getting quite popular.
