I was looking through the top name list and found some of the names that have risen by at least 100 places quite an interesting mix. Wdyt? Also any information on what has caused such a rise on the names would be great (some are the obvious with the celebrity influence and others I have no idea where the influence is from)Aziel
Stetson
Tatum
Onyx
Saint
Banks
Miller
Westin
Tadeo
Camilo
Bellamy
Colter
Houston
Atreus
Callahan
Jaxxon
Ambrose
Rio
Mac
Tru
Creed
Dario
Bridger
Cillian
Rey
Zyair
Zakai
Rome
Riggs
Avi

Like / Understand:
Callahan
Cillian
Ambrose
Houston
Tatum - for a girl only
Dario - not for me to name my child but know a few and it's a "real" name to me, not made up or trendy or trying too hardthe rest makes me question Americans sense of class and style - quite a few are just copying celebrities' baby names. And with how hard Celebrities try for attention, they seriously shouldn't be mimicked.

I think I only care for Stetson and Jericho. The others sounds tacky or tryndeigh or wacky to me. I'm neutral on Bellamy, Houston, and Ambrose.

The only two I like here are Ambrose and Jericho. I don't hate Avi.The rest range from eyebrow-raising to jaw-dropping.Yikes.

These I like:
Onyx (but for more of a guilty pleasure than an actual real person name like. I'd use it for a cat.)
Westin (prefer Weston)
Tadeo
Cillian
Avi
Wes (see above and also Rome below)These make me despair:
Stetson
Saint
Bellamy
Houston
Jaxxon
Tru
Creed
Rome (don't mind Roman with Rome as a nickname, but not just Rome)
Riggs
Mccoy
Jericho (don't care how much SJ likes it ;) )The rest are in between.

I love Ambrose. I also like of like Bridger. I don’t get how Bellamy is catching on with the boys. It sounds like a mix between Bella and Amy. I’m not a huge fan of it, but it seems all girl to me.

Most of these I dislike. The only ones I like are Callahan, Ambrose, Rio, Dario, and Jericho.I like Wes too, but only as a nickname for Wesley, not a full name.And Jaxxon... why, just why.

I like Rio, Avi and Wes, and that's about it. Dario, Tadeo, Camilo seem ok too. Most of them come across too surnamey, such as Banks-sorry, but what's next; cafe, mall, park, school? LOL! It's just as bad as Cash is. Miller, Westin-Wes names seem to be trending, so this one is understandable, even though it seems more like a surname. Colter, Houston, Callahan-I admit it sounds cool, but seems kinda, I don't know, "pompous" as a given name. Maybe as a middle? Mac, Bridger, Riggs and definetely Mccoy.

Very surprised to see Bellamy on the rise for boys. Bella seems like a pretty girly name element. I like Tadeo, Ambrose, and Avi.

Aziel- I have to say I don’t like it. It’s too spunky and reminds me of Azazel.
Stetson- I don’t even know what to say other than it’s just weird.
Tatum- I actually quite like Tatum and idk why it isn’t on my PNL
Onyx- it sounds like a deviant art oc. Pass.
Saint- you could’ve named him after any saint, but you decide to go with the most boring option.
Banks- ugly, and it doesn’t even mean anything.
Miller- sounds like a crusty old man.
Westin- not bad but I prefer Weston.
Tadeo- where did this come from? It reminds me of the nickname Tad but they had to make it all regal for some reason? Just use Theo????
Camilo- if you’re Spanish it’s a nice name.
Bellamy- way too feminine. The “bell” and “amy” just scream Bella and Amy.
Colter- sounds like a butler. Hey Colter, would you shine my shoes for me?
Houston- I can only see it on someone from the Deep South. Otherwise it’s awkward.
Atreus- it sounds like something you’d find in your body. Ow! I broke my Atreus!
Callahan- it sounds cool but it makes me think of the old creepy lawyer dude from Legally Blonde.
Jaxxon- Jackson or even Jaxon are tolerable. This is just a modern mess.
Ambrose- I always found it too feminine. I know it’s a male name but still.
Rio- prefer it on a girl but it’s fine on a boy.
Mac- I sorta like it, although it’s a bit plain.
Tru- it sounds like a brand rather than a person.

I think Onyx is fun. Girls get most of the gemstone names so it's time the boys had another in their pool. Banks and Riggs both sound ridiculous to me. And generally I'm really over most surname names.I don't see the appeal of Tru over True, Rome over Roman, or Jaxxon over just about any other way to spell the name.
