2)Which names for each gender are your favorite?
3)Which names for each gender are your least favorite?
4)Which names do you think will be popular in 5 years? 10 years?
5)Which names do you think are outdated?

Wait, do you want us to answer #s 2-5 using the names you posted, or just any names?

[lifehitmeoneday.livejournal.com]

Just the names I have posted.

I hate to write about the parents: where they come from, educational background, and age. Then I have to write which age groups like the names those specific people like from that list.

Its a dumb 'research' paper and my class is ultra-pointless.

1)How old you are? 19
2)Which names for each gender are your favorite? Zoey & Emma, Levi & Chase
3)Which names for each gender are your least favorite? Makenna, Karmindee, Ora, Devon, Kegan, Liem, Judah, Cullen, Brayden, Aiden, Jaden, Colson
4)Which names do you think will be popular in 5 years? 10 years? Harlow & Brayden
5)Which names do you think are outdated? emma, kaitlyn, faith, ora, michael, jerry

Great paper topic you've got there. :D

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

1)How old you are?
15; I'll be 16 in April.

2)Which names for each gender are your favorite?
Emeline, Lydia, Camilla, Alice, Athena, Ariadne, Anastasia, Catharine, Zelda, Violet, Juliet, Helen, Jane

Henry, Jude, Simon, Arthur, Theodore, Blythe, Caleb, Jacob, Seth, Gabriel, George, Nathan, Julius, Silas, Weyland

3)Which names for each gender are your least favorite?
Cadence, any Ray- names, male names on girls (even now-female names like Madison and Allison), Brianna, Neveah, Miley, Margaret, any variation upon the name Anaya (e.g. T'Anaya) and Anaya itself, virtue names, unisex names

Any -ayden name (except for Aidan), Robert

For both: any needless prefixes (e.g. D', T', L') and suffixes (e.g. -von), the -ayton and -aylon names, theme names (unless it's a sophisticated theme, like royalty [e.g. Isabella, James, Anastasia, Henry]), trendy names

4)Which names do you think will be popular in 5 years? 10 years?
The classics will make a massive comeback after this decade's obssessive love of tryndee monikers. I'm also betting that we'll be seeing more foreign names.

5)Which names do you think are outdated?
The trendy names of the 90s and early 00s: e.g. Caitlin, Mackenzie, Madison, Jessica, Courtney, Jennifer, Michelle, Amanda, Hailey

I'm a 30 yr old female.

I like Makenna (but not McKenna)
Bethany
Samantha
Faith
Brynn

Don't like the other girl names.

I like Chase
Michael
Judah
Levi
Jaden

Don't like the other boy names. I hope Brayden, Jaden, and Aiden aren't brothers.

I think Zoe and all its spellings will stay popular, as will Emma.

I don't think the -den craze will end for a long time. I don't expect Michael to go away either...it's been in the top 10 for almost a century.

As for fading out and outdated...I don't know that any on your list applies. Well, maybe Gwen and Jerry.

In response to your preemptive apology: Regardless of what you name your kid, his/her name will be subject to "dissing." And if you can't handle that, methinks you're a touch hypersensitive.

4)Which names do you think will be popular in 5 years? Probably Emma, still. Levi and Judah may catch on. Levi is on it's way already.
