I'm a teacher, so I see the trends of names go in and out as I get new students every year. Four years ago, out of 80 students I had no less than 8 Danielles (or some variant like Daniella). It was insane. That seems to have passed by the wayside now. This year, I only have one.
One baby name that I'm hearing and seeing everywhere is Connor. I love the name, don't get me wrong, but I would never choose it for my child for the simple fact that later in life, he will be one of at least five Connors in his school class.
You have to find a happy medium with names. Get creative, sure, but don't go overboard! Changing the spelling of a traditional name is a way to do that. Example: Our daughter's name is Cathryn. We didn't use the traditional spellings: Catherine or Kathryn, but we combined the two. We also didn't go nuts and do something like Kaitherryinne which would have been over the top. People need to remember that names are identity markers that people will have for the rest of their lives...chosen by another individual for them! Let's give them names that are beautiful, easy to remember and spell, but not too repetitive.
Other overdone names i have heard in the past few years: Joseph, Matthew, Emma, Emily, Rachael, John, Hannah

I, personally, am getting tired of hearing the weirdo baby names. A name is a name, but just how creative do you have to get before you're sponsoring a product through a child. Its freakin crazy to name your child something that they will either be scorned for, for the rest of their life, or giving them a name of a product that when they are 23 hasn't existed for 12 years...

-something that has "aiden" in it. Aiden, Jayden, Brayden, Hayden, Kayden -Addison. Madison I relatively have a delicate spot for for some reason, yet Addison i visit't stand. -BENTLEY! i do no longer think of of there's a "call" that I dislike better proper than this one. relatively, names that the mom and dad for advantageous have been given from cleansing cleansing soap operas or fact television in many circumstances. -Isabella and Sophia. I in basic terms discover them so blah now. -bizarre and exquisite respellings like Khloe or Zoey. inclusive of y's and changing c's with ok's are the worst offenders. -Hunter. no would desire to make clean this one. i does not say that i admire classic names the two, i'm kinda eclectic whilst it incorporates names. Michael and Christopher are 2 i relatively dislike. And George, yet I doubt that anybody indoors the U. S. makes use of that anymore.
