HelpRe: What are some name trends you personally think are not it?
in reply to a message by OvertiredPigeon
I tend to not like the same vintage names that others do. They sound very outdated and colorless to me. Archie came back for a moment, but not Archibald. Archie is cute, but I would have been pleased to see Archibald. Whitney is hanging in there. I don't particularly like it. I saw that Etta came back. I do not like it. I'd be happy to see Betty, though - a name that I used to find quite ugly.
Some names with -ly and -lynn do not appeal to me. I like Riley, Hailey and Kaylee. Not so much Everly, Bailey, Paisley or Ainsley. I prefer -ly over -lee in most cases. (Riley > Rilee, Miley > Mylee, etc.) I like Ashlyn, Rylan, Kaylynn, and Evelyn, but not so much Beverlyn, Kimberlyn, Gracelyn, Emberlyn, or Amberlyn.
Ae spellings look odd to me. I prefer Ai or Ay; Aiden instead of Aeden. Jaycob over Jaecob. Things like that. I don't mind the word name trend, or the surname as first name trend, but I would not use Honey, Ever, Love, Happy, Cloud, Storm, Dream, Sunshine or Dream in real life. Dream and Jream were popular at some point.
Some of the names that I gave as examples are not trending, it's just to give an idea.

I don't get naming a person "Honey", it feels like a pet name. I'm not a big fan of Archie, but I'm glad Archibald has stayed in the past lol. Kimberlyn sounds like a kind of wood!
