HelpWhat will Gen Alpha name their kids?
I’m 2011, so I could be Gen Z or Gen Alpha. Here’s my list.
Girls
1. Scarlett
2. Maddalena
3. Helen
4. Emma
5. Elena
6. Lily
7. Leah
8. Isabelle
9. Ava
10. Evelyn
11. Elysa
12. Megan
Boys
1. Evan
2. Matthew
3. James
4. Ryan
5. Joseph
6. Benjamin
7. Owen
8. Daniel
9. Levi
10. Michael
11. Eric
12. Christopher
Any other names you think Gen Alpha will pick(and also Gen Z)?
I saw name predictions for 2050. I hope that I never send my kids to school with kids named Ridger, Prairie, Pixie, and Vision.

I think the distribution of names will become more diverse than it is now, and may even use names from other cultures. And I think there will be a comeback of names from the 1930s to 1950s.
And a 2009 born who is on the border of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, I tend to be enthusiastic(?) about names from the 1980s to 1990s, but I don't think either Generation Z or Generation Alpha will make a comeback for names from the 1980s to 1990s.

I’m a 2011 born, and I love 80s/90s names too!
Thank you. I meet a comrade.
I think they will either go super classical. Perhaps virtue names will become trendy. Or like mythological names.
The only Gen Z list I’ve seen were made up of names like Mercy and Mars (for a girl).

Some popular names from 1930s-1970s.
Some names currently popular in the UK, Ireland, and France.
Some random word names.
Some pop culture names.
Some more Arabic, Spanish, and Japanese names.
Some English names that never seem to lose popularity.
If I made a specific list from those I'd be tempted to pick names that interest me most, though. :)

This is a great answer.
If you go by the 100-year rule:
Twila, Millicent, Kay, Anita, Lucille, Ida, Harriet, Dixie, Geneva, Marcella
Jerome, Gilbert, Maurice, Lyle, Casper, Rex, Irvin, Cornelius, Melvin

I am a bit older, but also around the border for Gen Z and Gen X. Since some names that were previously considered old people names a few decades ago made comebacks, like Charlotte and Evelyn, maybe names like Barbara, Phyllis, Helen, Doris and Cheryl will gain popularity as well. Honestly, Prairie is a guilty pleasure for me; I find it kinda tacky but I like the sound. Since names like Olivia and Isabella started ranking indefinatley or gaining popularity a couple decades before they became very popular, I would look to names that are sort of unpopular but gaining popularity, like Calliope, Guinevere, Adriel, Alani, Estelle, Estella Antonella, Baylor, Bellamy, Clementine, Boone, Eloise, ect.
Me personally, if I were to have children in the future, 12 feminine names might consider would be Angeline, Evadne, Euphemia, Ginevra, Georgina, Juliette, Primrose, Ariadne, Cecily, Rosine, Roxana, and Estella, and 12 masculine ones would be Alexander, Antony, Arthur, Cassian, Evander, Joseph, Salvador, Silas, Victor, Virgil, and Wallace, Theron and I also like Hawthorn and Jupiter but only as middle names, though my opinions may very well all change in many years time

You’re probably right. Prairie does sound good, but I do find it tacky. I would be happy for Helen to make a comeback, but the others…
I do like Alani and Eloise

My first thought when I saw this thread was - hopefully not Alpha!
...I guess potentially Rex could rise more? They seem similar: Rex seems less dated, though Alpha is potentially unisex and has Al as a relatable NN option, hmm...or, Ralph would be funny to see come back; and Neon would be entertaining (maybe they liked Nova, Neo, Leon, Sunny, Waverly, or Lux! but those were too old)...
I think I remember Delta being predicted to rise during the 00s or 10s, and it ended up not being a thing. But it seems kind of the style of Nova, Memphis, Adelaide, Zelda, so it was a good guess for millenials imo (I think Poppy was predicted on the same list, and that happened!). Maybe if Delphine catches on soonish, it'll have more of a chance.

I don't think Corona will be usable for a long, long time!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe she actually named the child Covid.
I think Gen Alpha will be bolder than us because some of them are so young to the point that they won't remember the COVID trauma.
As a 2011 born who is on the border of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, I can remember Covid well, and I would never name a kid Corona.
