Re: What's your least favourite name trend?
in reply to a message by potatochips
Yup, I can certainly agree to that. Masculine names for girls is a trend I'd never warm up to. It's certainly not a new trend, but it's definitely has gotten a lot more common in recent decades. (Little girls being named Rowan, Riley, Hunter, Spencer, James, Finley. God knows whatever else. It's even worse when the conventual spelling is altered in order to "feminize" the name. 😂😂😂
Other trends I despise are any trendy/Inventive spellings, as slightly mentioned. Most notably, Leigh/Lee suffixes and a random unnecessary 'Y'
Everleigh/Marleigh instead of Everly or Marley
Charlee/Kylee instead of Charlie or Kiley/Kylie
Rowyn/Robyn instead of Rowan or Robin
"Has the planet gone mad? My brother... passion's hostage. I seek justice! Denied. I shall not submit! I shall conquer! I shall rise! My name is Gomez Addams, and I have seen evil! I have seen horror!"

I've heard twice someone mentioning that Kelleigh is the original Irish spelling of Kelly (both Kelleigh are in their thirties).
