Beyond Jennifer, Jason...

In the book ' Beyond Jennifer, Jason, Madison and Montana' one of the mentioned trends was upper class families naming their babies something and 15 years later or so, all the other classes follow suit.

My name is Emma, and while I barely know any other Emma's my age, I hear it being screamed in the supermarket constantly today.

Aside from the meaning and fortune of a name, popularity is the most important factor for us. Third is versatility, can you pronounce it in French/ German etc..What about you?

P.s using the baby name trends when I met my friends 13 year old daughter, Kayleigh, I said " everyone is named Kayleigh, Madison or McKenzie these days" my friend said " Madison and McKenzie are her best friends"!

I find it important that the name is not tacky (McKenzie, Jayden), but I don't know about popularity. I mean, Sophia is on my top five. Isabel and Eva are also getting pretty popular, but that doesn't turn me off. I just like those names a lot.

Versatility is very important for me, too. Some of my favorite names definitely don't work in my language. They remain names I like, but I could never use them.
