Re: What are some name trends you personally think are not it?
Repetitive sounds and patterns is what I dislike most. It used to be -ayden and -ason, now it's -eo/-io: Leo, Theo, Mateo, Elio... Some countries' top 10 name lists are really tedious. Germany, for example, has Leon, Leo, Luca, Lia, Lea, Lina, Leni and Lilly.Haven't parents notice that there are other consonants than L and M in the alphabet? I'm tired of soft consonants. I'm starting to prefer names that contain harsh or lispy sounds that aren't easily likeable.I also mostly dislike cutesy nicknames, but I have a soft spot for the more spunky/tomboyish names like Stevie and Scottie, and also for vintage comebacks such as Hattie or Teddy.As for LNFNs, these are mostly an American thing. I'm in Europe, so I don't encounter them on daily basis. They're not my cup of Tea, but at least they are less boring and cutesy than all the Leo- and Ellie- names.

Scottie reminds me of the dog! Stevie reminds me of Stevie Nicks but I feel like the name [In her case, the nickname] has only really fit her and her only.
