What will be the Jennifer Anne of the 2000s and 2010s?
Any ideas?As in a first name-middle-name-combo that very many people have?I would say that in the 70s it was probably Jennifer Anne. In the 80s maybe Ashley Nicole? In the 90s maybe Emily Jane? Sarah Jane?Which combos do you hear a lot?I'd say in the 2000s maybe Madison Rose or Emily Rose or Hannah Grace. Maybe Emma Grace or Emma Rose or Emma Marie.In the 2010s I'd say Sophia Grace, Isabella Rose or Olivia Rose, Olivia Grace, Ava Elizabeth, Mia Rose.In the 2020s Amelia Rose, Amelia Grace, Charlotte Rose, Grace, ElizabethThoughts?For boys it is harder because I feel like they never change. It's everything in the top 10 combined with Michael, James or John as it was decades ago.

In my experience for 2010s I saw a Hella lot of Sophia Marie's for a while working with little girls
I can only talk about the 2000s, based on real-life experiences. I totally agree with Emily Grace; I know four of them.
Olivia Grace and Emma Grace, for sure. Probably also Sophia Rose.I have run across three or four Oaklyns just here lately. So I'd add Oaklyn for this decade, except I only know the middle name of one of them, which is Rain.
I think as 13 year old I can answer this pretty well!Here are some common names in my grade: Emma, Charlotte, Sophia, Isabella, Emily
Common middle names: Marie, Rose, Grace, I’m not totally sure on the others.I feel like Emma Marie is the Jennifer Anne of the 2010s.
I really want to say Olivia Rose for some reason.
Emily Grace, gen Z.
Emma, Isabella, or Olivia Rose, alpha. Sophia could compete too. They're all about the same - but Emma has been bigger a bit longer.
But not even Emily really comes close to Jennifer, in terms of sheer number of girls named.
Jessica Nicole or Jessica Grace, would be my stereotype millennial name.Boys kinda have 2 strains of popular names, more than girls do. Michael and Noah get longer term high usage. I would say Noah is the most like the Michael of the 21st century so far. Boy middle names don't shift as much either imo.
But also there are trends that are more decade-defining - Jason 70s, Matthew 80s, Jacob 90s, Ethan and Aiden 00s, Mason 10s. Liam 20s?
