HelpRe: What names would you like to be out of fashion?
in reply to a message by Namaide
I'm Spanish as well, and I find María, Laura and Isabel pretty, but vastly common, no matter what age.
Same thing goes for Carmen, which the average Spanish thinks it's a grandmother name, but it's currently ranked #15 in the 2020 chart.
Lucía hasn't got off the first place since 2003, yikes. Same goes for Sofía, which is ranked #2 since 2017.
Valeria and Valentina need a little rest and give other V names more importance, like Viviana, Violeta or just Verónica. I could like Valeria only if it wasn't that popular.
On the masculine names, Antonio is like María - extremely common. Alejandro is kind of 2000's dated. I see Hugo still being the top name in the chart until 2030.
In short, I like all of the names I mentioned (except Alejandro, Valeria and Valentina), but I'd like to see more variety in the charts. :P

In the American list, some of these names have been used in great numbers since the SSA started to record them. In other words, never fell off the top 30 between the late 19th century and presently.
These are James, Alexander, John and William for males.
In the case of the feminine names, these generally got out of the top 100 at a time, but still need to take a break, to give an example - Emily, Charlotte, Anna...
And some are relatively new but rose up in a short period of time, like Liam, Ethan, Mateo, Ava, Mia or Harper.
