HelpNames I keep hearing on the internet
I scrolled through a ton of "names I considered for my kid but won't be using" videos, because I was super bored, and here are the names I kept hearing people mention:
Maeve, Halo, Saylor, Goldie, Scottie, Sayla, Navy, Birdie, Violet, Daisy, Lucy, Kit, Dove, Ruthie, Otto, Rory, Silas, Zara, Amelia, Romy, Sunday, Ruby, Quinn, Elijah, Dawson, Fabian, Alina, Millie, Harlow
Thoughts?

I like Maeve, Violet, Lucy, Amelia, Elijah, Alina, and Millie
I like:
Maeve
Violet
Silas
Alina
Zara
And maybe these:
Birdie
Daisy
Lucy
Otto
Quinn
Ruby
Fabian
Amelia
Ruthie (nn- for some reason I prefer Ruthanna 'Ruthie' to just Ruth 'Ruthie')
Saylor
I'm surprised that Goldie, Birdie, Millie, and Ruthie got multiple mentions -- those seem like very specific grandma-type names (well, some of them. I can see Birdie and Millie being popular).
I'm also surprised about Halo (never heard of that as a first name), Navy, Scottie, Sayla, and Sunday.

I love Fabian!
I’m so confused by Scottie…

All the Scotties I saw were going to be girls, and the parents said they just thought it was cute.
Interesting! I realized that I think "Scottie" just means a Scottish terrier vs. "Scotty" which is a nickname for Scott. I've never heard of Scottie on a girl, and if I did see it I'd expect it to be from the generation that called girls Bobbie, Billie, Frankie, etc.
A very dear friend at uni was known as Scottie or Scotto, his ln being Scott. Now nobody uses it, but I sometimes have to remember - just in time - to call him Ian instead. So that would be my guess, and not an attempt to honour a Scottish terrier. My favourite breed of dog, but there are limits.
Well, Scottie entered the US popularity chart randomly last year! Very curious.
Most of them are not my style at all. Ones I would like enough to consider: Maeve, Daisy, Lucy, Ruth (not Ruthie!). Rory isn't bad.
Halo is astonishing. Saylor or Sayla - double yuck. Navy - the colour or the ships? Dove - better than Seagull. Quinn - Come all without, come all within. Harlow is surely one of the worst lnfns available.
