HelpRe: Name Trends
in reply to a message by NelleR
1. Names ending in O sounds like a great trend! I'm not big on Hugo but I love Arlo, Marlo and Cleo. I like Carlo.
2. I don't even like old virtue names that much, so modern ones have no difference for me. There is a talented actor with the name "Chozen" spelled with a Z. Psalm is not just a virtue, but a biblical reference. It's the worst one listed. I have a soft spot for Wisdom...I admit it. It's not just a virtue, but a skill that is rare but so, so necessary. I want to obtain more Wisdom, but I won't get it simply for naming my child that.
3. No offense, but I do not think that Kelly is underused (in the US) - at least not on women. I like the name Scott. That's the best one listed.
4. I love surnames as first names. Y'all can fight me on this one. They sound very official, serious and professional. However, I don't like ones ending in S because it makes it sound plural. I like Ellis the most, Murphy is second from the list.
5. YES! When girls names are used for boys, we can finally have some real unisex names, not just names that girls have overtaken from guys (Whitney, Courtney, Lindy, Hilary, Stacy, etc.) I like Eden the best. Beautiful and handsome. I wouldn't use it because it's biblical, though.
6. I really, really dislike names where a good word gets -ley or -lyn slapped at the end of it. But because River is a great name, and -lyn is better than -ley... Riverlyn is the best here.
7. Celestial names are cool. Celeste is the best one here.
8. Names from people's cultural heritages is totally acceptable. Names from other countries without any personal connection to those countries seems disrespectful. I love Japanese names but will never use them because I'm not Japanese. I would opt for English or African American names.... maybe some "common languages" like Spanish or Italian would be the exception - but they would most likely be names that are ALSO English.
