One of the most fun things about running nameberry, as opposed to being a visitor, is that you get to peer behind the scenes and see which names people are actually searching for. Some of the most visited names on nameberry are ones you’d expect: Ava and Aidan, Lucy and Logan. And then there are the stylish nameberry favorites as detailed in a recent blog: Beatrix, Penelope, Atticus.
But a bit further down on the list, we’re noticing less expected names that our visitors seem to be inordinately curious about. These are the choices that are not on any popularity list – not even a sophisticated, fashion-forward one like nameberry’s – yet are attracting more than their share of attention.
Our conclusion? These are names to watch. It may be only the more adventurous baby namers who are actually using them at the moment, but we predict that in a decade, most will feel more familiar – perhaps way more familiar – than they do now.
These names of the future include:
Girls
Boys
