babynames
These names are from Nameberry.com's list "Names of the Future." They are names that, though still not that popular, are rapidly climbing the charts. Here, I'll list them and offer some commentary. Please discuss!
ANAIS (I particularly like the literary connotations of this name.)
ANASTASIA Nice royalty connotation, but a little too chunky for my taste.
ARDEN Very pretty. I bet it's going to be extremely popular.
BRYONY Atonement!
CLEO Also very cute, and less daring than Cleopatra.
CORDELIA I remember that Anneof Green Gables adored this name. She would love knowing it's going to be popular!
DAPHNE I'm torn. Don't like the '80s connotation but do like the mythology.
EDITH LOVE it. I'm a huge fan of Grey Gardens and this name makes me think of crumbling mansions and quirky style.
ELIANA My name's Ilana, so this makes me a little happy.
EVER It's one of my favourite names.
FLEUR Too prissy.
GAIA I really like it, but it's not for the faint of heart.
ISOLDE One of my favourites. So beautiful and classy.
JEMIMA Can't say I like Jemina.
KIKI I don't this name is all that great.
LAVINIA Still too old-fashioned.
MAMIE I just don't think I'll ever find this name attractive.
MIRABELLA Following the Isabella trend, but would do well to be shortened. It's a bit too frlilly.
PERSEPHONE Nice, but clunky.
PIPER Cute,
SASKIA I like it.
VERITY Love this name.
VERONICA Another 80s redux.
WREN Remember Even Stevens?
Boys
ARCHER Too phonetically harsh for my taste.
BECKETT Very 1980s Yuppie.
CALVIN Phonetically beautiful. I reallu like it.
HUGO This is an amazing name.
LACHLAN This is very nice.
LENNON Reminds me of Adam Pascal's son.
REMY A rare female-to-male gender switch?
SILAS I like it.
STELLAN Nice.
