I know sometimes there’s an obvious reason like a book or film or celebrity inspiring a particular name but other times names just seem to come and go.
I was bored at work and idly looking back at name trends over the last thirty years and it reminded me of when every other little boy was called Jack. Hardly hear it now. Likewise Jessica and Chloe were really popular and Bethany.
I can’t think of any celebrities with those names although could be wrong. I’m just wondering what causes a sudden surge in popularity followed by a decline? It’s interesting anyway!
