Re: Analysis of the #1 Names in America from 1880 to Now: Male Names
in reply to a message by Lily
I actually agree about Mason.
I made brief mention of a theory I had about the changeability of the nature(s) of the "Always On" Generation (post-millennial births), and how that impacted the inconsistency of female names at #1; and I think that could soon have an effect on the male names as well. You look at this short list of longstanding "classic" names, and then - where the heck did *Mason* come from?!?! :-)
It is interesting, though, that Twilight has had a detrimental effect on the names associated with it. I've never read any of the books or seen the movies, but I had assumed the effect to be the opposite.
