Popular names you think will end up being faddy / genrational / "two thousand and teensie" names"

[Totality22]

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!!!]

Seren and Wren.

Oh do you well thats my theroy blown

People don't really call their children Wren, do they? I have only ever seen it on Mumsnet.

Emma was definitely popular in the 80s and 90s too!

I know an adult Freya, and knew a Freya when I was at school (though it seemed very outlandish back then, I thought she was terribly glamorous!). I also know an adult Sophie (but then Sophie always seems to have been around, I think, ditto Charlotte?).

Someone I knew growing up called their first baby Eve back in the 90s and that seemed very unusual then. Also the first person I knew who called their baby Isabella was late 90s.

I also know several adult Erins, and that seems a really popular name now as well, but I'd never heard of it growing up (though had heard of other irish names - Niamh, Sinead, etc).

'Today's' big names that I suspect will date are Ava, Lily, Ruby, Noah, Jonah. (In the 90s Joshua seemed to be more popular, where are the Joshuas now? I would secretly have quite liked Joshua for a boys name but I would worry it seemed very 90s & dated now)

Same squoosh re George. Edward too, until recently I'd only ever met English ones but now there's a few little Welsh ones.

Eve, the 'first woman' according to three major world religions? I wouldn't say it is a faddy or trendy name but fairly consistent like Adam....

Not a name I would choose but certainly don't think it is going to date!

Oh god is Seren going to be one? I thought Welsh names (with the exception of Dylan) were by and large escaping being faddy. It's the top of the list for eventual DC2 if we have a girl :(

Evie and Alfie, also to a lesser extent, Isla and Lyra.

"Eve, the 'first woman' according to three major world religions? I wouldn't say it is a faddy or trendy name but fairly consistent like Adam.... Not a name I would choose but certainly don't think it is going to date!"

names.darkgreener.com/#eve Hmmmm... I have to say, I think this name was rare when I was a kid.

Adam looks like it's had quite a popularity drop too. I think of it as being more of a 70s name than a current one. Evie (as opposed to Eve) has had a big boom in the last ten years although it looks like it's fading a bit now. A late 'naughties' name. Likewise I see Lily (and all it's variants) is declining too. On the other hand Archie is on the up and up (all from darker green, although it only covers 1996-2013)

Incidentally both my children's names have been mentioned here (well their short forms anyway) as they have both been top ten for the last ten years I don't think they will be seen as 20 teens names. They both seemed to boom a couple of years after we picked them.

I don't know any Georges! I know lots of James. Must be a regional thing though I have moved several times...

Faddy names.

Maddison, Evie, Eve, Ava, Isabel, Nevaeh, Oliver, Oscar, Jayden, Arlo. Only because there are so many of them they will define an era.

There are very few really timeless names ones that spring too mind
Elizabeth
William
james
Charlotte
On hearing these names I don't think you could put a age on the person on name alone.

William is an all times favourite i think ;)

Daisy and Poppy

William was not a very popular name in the mid-20th century. It started coming back in the 1970s.

William was top 20 in 1950s. 1970s was probably its lowest point in popularity last century.

Facts, people! Much better than anecdotes and guesses

really not making a point, just musing. Have never met a non English George. Nothing too alarming in that statement I hope.

Eye rolling rather than alarming. I've never met an English Giorgio or Georges either (insert version of George from country of choice)

I know three Wrens, Lazarou! One male, two female. I think Isla, Layla and Ava.

Lauren, Kyle, Jayden and all those 'surname' names like Madison, McKenzie, Parker, etc.

Drowning in isla/islay/other spellings of same here. Think i notice it more as i can't stand that choice myself!

Similar with things i consider as a shortened version ( ellie, archie, alfie, freddy) with no long version.

Seriously overwhelmed with xanthe/theo/oscar in slightly more wealthy local residents.

Kaiden/kyle/jayden/kian/other j and k or -den names. I can't see any of them becoming timeless classics thag continue to be used.

India had a bit of a thing in the mid-noughties.

I've always loved the name Freya and am gutted it's now seen as trendy and faddy
