does anyone else notice...

lately, a lot of people naming their children names that don't "grow" well with them; names you just can't picture on an adult?

what names do you think fall under this category (male & female)?

BOYS
- any of the word names, like Hunter, Rebel, Lucky, River, etc.
- any Aidan/Aiden variant except for Aidan/Aiden (spelled this way!) or POSSIBLY Braden. Especially if they have excessive y's.
- nicknames as given names (i.e. Jake instead of Jacob, Sam instead of Samuel, etc.)
- Tyler
- Logan
- Cameron
- Connor
- Wyatt
- Chase
- Cole (as a given name; I like it as a nickname)
- Tristan
- Blake
- Devin

GIRLS
- Madison
- Mackenzie
- Addison
- anything with excessive y's, regardless of the pronunciation of the name (ex: Catherine works wonderful on any age; Cathyryn, however, looks horribly takcy)
- Mikayla variations
- Kaylee
- any variation of Isabel except Isabel
- boys' names on girls, especially Riley and Logan, but also any name that is ACTUALLY a boy's name and not unisex (ie, Elliot, Sean, etc.)
- Aaliyah
- Haley
- Brooklyn/Brooke (regardless of the middle name paired with Brooke)
- Kylie
- Avery/Bailey
- Peyton
- Nevaeh
- Destiny
- Lola
- Emma
- Jasmine
- Savannah
- Mia as a given name (love it as a nn for Amelia, though)

Hm... my name's Mia... I guess I've never really thought about it not aging well with me, but you may be right! :)

I think it depends on the person. There are some people who carry names well regardless, but I have a hard time picturing it on an adult. Maybe if I knew you I'd have a different opinion of it, though:)
