Hi Mireio !!!
Can anyone tell me why Mason is SO trendy, popular etc?
Who or what VIP, film, telefilm, videogame or anything else started this trend?
I dislike Garrett.
I much prefer Gareth or Garnet.
Anyway Congratulation to all this big-size-family!

Mason is probably a combination of occupational surnames being trendy and -son names being trendy, but it went from #12 to #2 in 2011, after one of the Kardashians used it for their son.

Yes but it means "stonewarker, bricklayer" in your language..
It is so strange!
I know that someone likes this things...
...but it is #4 !!!
Why a whole nation gave their children a name after a so poor and hard occupation?? TT

It does, but most people don't use it as a word (as far as I've experienced-- most people just say bricklayer if they're talking about someone laying bricks. If someone said "he was a mason", I'd assume they were talking about the Freemasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry)
And many people don't care about the meaning if they like the sound. Hunter, Parker, Tyler have all appeared in the top 50 despite being occupations.

I don't think the word "mason" has a bad connotation in the US. Although I will admit, my SO has done some bricklaying, and he says he hates it.
