They’ve been raising for the last 20+ years. Personally, I saw -Leigh and -Lynn originally rising when parents were looking to “feminize” masculine names. There was a huge trend of boys names on girls because people thought they were “spunky” but then they started feminizing them like Hunterlyn and Everleigh, etc. (even your examples, Oak & Bry were originally masculine names). Now people will literally take any base name, male or female, and just add a -Lynn or -Leigh onto it because it’s a popular trend, and people love jumping on trends.

The same goes for -Lee/-ly/-lyn
