After searching through the new list of names, here are the names within the top 100 that I don't care for, whether by a moderate amount or by a lot. Although the majority of the names I don't mind or even admire, these are the ones I feel differently towards. Are there any names from the recent list you dislike?
♂️
#22
Hudson (-1) I thought it was going to enter the top 20. Glad it didn't. It might next year)
#29
Santiago (+16) I get why it's trending. I just don't care for it.
#36
Maverick (+1) #50
Cooper (+2) #60
Bennett (+14) #67
Brooks (+6) #70
Weston (+5)
#73
Lincoln (-9) #82
Walker (+3) All better as surnames.
Bennett &
Weston are the best ones though.
#48
Grayson (-4)
#52
Roman (+14)
#59
Jayden (-10) Thankfully on it's way out.
#63
Angel (0)
#65
Waylon (-3) Sounds violent.
#78
Axel (-7)
Spellings:
#96
Jaxon (-10)
#99
Myles (+8)
I FAR prefer
Jackson and
Miles.
♀️
#12
Harper (-1) I would *love* to see this name go. Out of the top 20, the top 100 and eventually out of the charts completely!
#19
Hazel (-1) I'm surprised this went down.
#39
Nova (-4) Again, surprising. But glad!
#46
Madison (-9) Not surprising. This one seems to be on it's way out.
#55
Genesis (+2)
#61
Paisley (-5) Hate this one as much as
Harper#85
Kinsley (-17)
#89
Kennedy (-17) I prefer this on a boy and even better as a surname.
Most of them seem to be on the boy's side which is weird because just a few years ago it was the opposite.
🔰 Any predictions for next year? Here are mine so far:
Top 10: Same batch of names, although I wouldn't be surprised to see either
Ava,
Lucas or
William going.
Top 20:
Michael.
Elizabeth. (Leaving)
Luca.
Leo.
Santiago.
Julian.
Ella or
Ellie. (entering) I know
Leo went down, but unless it does continuously for a few years, I'm not discounting it.
Top 100:
Elias.
Nora.
Atlas.
Arthur.
Emiliano.
Lorenzo.
Lainey. (Entering)
Jaxon.
Robert.
Lydia.
Parker.
Quinn ♀️(Leaving)
Leaving the charts:
#989
Bailee (-55)
#940 Hadlee (-46)
#806
Alexa (-202) This one is inevitable. If not next year, then almost certainly by the year after that. It is a nice name, so I do think it is a shame.
#996
Vance (-41)
#997
Aden (-157)
#804 Brynleigh
#894
Aspyn
I don't have any predictions for new names entering. I predicted
Elowen would (🥳) but I'm usually bad at predicting in this particular category.
