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.
