[Opinions] Re: What names do you think will be popular in the years 2050 and 2100?

Space-related names aka names that should be used for SyFy characters
Mythological names
Names that are practically all consonants.
Modernized religious names / religious word names (i.e. crazy spellings, mashing together trendy names with religious names) - Praise spelled Prayz or Worship spelled Wyrshyppe
Old, weird saint names
Long florid names with itsy bitsy nicknames - Nicodemus nn Nic or Vespasian nn Vee
Hyper-genderized names v. completely non-gendered neutral names (Anastasia v. River)
Non-English names getting more airplay in the English-speaking world
Multiple names and middle names because a creative spelling is not enough to be unique anymore (and the subsequent acronyms that result)
Militaristic / Strong / Battle / Royal / "Hero" names - Gunnar, Gunther, Hunter, Chase, Rifle, Blaze, Andromache, Beowulf, Grosvenor, Alexander, Cesar, Constantine, August, Aldric, Arthur, Emyr, Brendan, Frederick, Henry, William, Norman, Kingsley, Kingston, Reina, Royal, Royston, Roy, Leroy, Malik, Rex, Richard, etc.
