Have heard the name Isla described as all 3 on another thread (sorry this isn't actually a TAAT)

It got me to thinking what other names could end up being faddy.

I think Freya fits the bill also. I am sure there are loads more

[incidentally I love both Isla and Freya as names!!!]

Evie and Courtney for girls
ALfie for boys

There are dozens in my son's school

My era there were lots of Susans, Andrews, Kevins and Rebeccas

Definitely Stanley, Alfie, Betty, Elsie type names.
They were really dated when I was younger and will probably the old age names of the next generation.

I don't think there will be any obvious Sharon and Tracey names for the children of this generation. There are just so many different names.

queentroutoftrouts · 02/04/2015 13:08

I think Amelia, Oscar and names that are doubled with a May or a Rose.

Isla has been around since the 1800s and been popular in Scotland for a long time its just become more popular outside Scotland recently.
Freya goes back to Norse mythology.
I think surnames as first names will date and names ending in "den" eg Jayden etc

Gosh sorry about the other typo in the title - should read generational

MN, when are you going to add an edit function???

although this doesn't excuse me not being able to type properly to begin with

There seem to have been a very large number of Finns.

Girls are Evie and Sophie (and variants)

Gah - title should have read "two thousand and tensie names" as in a name of the 2010's onwards.
