The first time a friend of mine had a child, it was intensely jarring. Id be living my normal day, and then the thought would hit meMatt has a sonand my whole world would get turned upside down. Three years and six friend babies later, Im 3. Its still weird. But not jarring. This new phenomenon in my life has introduced several new experiencesthings like having your feelings hurt and losing self confidence because your friends toddler doesnt like you and learning that talking about the baby as a toy or a pod and commenting on it not having a brain yet is less funny to the babys parents than it is to you. But perhaps the most frequent new experience is finding myself in discussions about baby names, both in the form of talking to the impending parents and pressuring them to reveal the candidates, and talking to other friends about the eventual name choices behind the new parents back. Note definitely best to keep the name candidates a secret until after the babys bornno name will please everyone and other peoples opinions really shouldnt be part of the process for something so personal. And when you announce the name after the baby is born, everyone has to pretend they like it to your face no matter what they think, so youll end up feeling like everyone likes it. Youd assume that thinking about baby names is a new thing in my life, but Ive actually had a lifelong fascination with the topic. My curiosity rose to a whole new level the day I discovered an amazing website called The Baby Name Wizard, and especially their Voyager tool, which lets you plug in a few letters or a whole name and see a visual depiction of its corresponding popularity trends over time. The Voyager is delicious and rents permanent space in my Dark Playground. Of course, as soon as it was the topic of this post, putting Voyager play time in the Dark Woods for the first time ever, the monkey suddenly wanted to do other things and kept clicking away from the page. But thats a whole other topic. So, for all these reasons, it seemed like the right time for a post about names, trends, and the things expecting parents need to think about as they make this decision. After many hours on The Baby Name Wizard and the governments official name database, here are my thoughts focusing on the US unless otherwise statedParents choosing a name have a few options 1 Go Timeless. Examples John, James, William, David, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth. Benefits You wont embarrass yourself You wont pigeonhole the kid in any way, including generationally Its classy Theres something cool about a common bond with centuries of previous humans. Drawbacks Its kind of boring. These names are often biblical, or sometimes those of famous royalty, and theyre bigger than any one generationWilliam is not a typical old mans name or young guys nameits just William. And theyre always popular. But theyre less popular than they used to be. The Top 1. 0 boys names in the 1. Top 1. 0 boys names in the 1. John, William, James, Robert, Charles, and Thomas. But the Top 1. 0 in 2. William. 2 Go Super Weird. Examples Winter, Namaste, Jameliah, Stormy, Cameo, Grudzel. Benefits No one will ever question your balls If the kid is awesome, then its awesome. Drawbacks Theyll have to spell out their name on phone calls 2 trillion times throughout their life Theyll have to watch people figuring out how to react every time they introduce themselves Theyll get made fun of at school It might hurt their chances of getting job interviews If the kid isnt awesome, the whole thing is awkward If you were just in a phase and made a compulsive decision, thats shitty cause the kid has to live with it forever. Despite several drawbacks, its a nice chance to say, P. S. We dont give a shit about what other people think. The Fake English'>The Fake English. And again, if the kids awesome, a weird name just makes them even more awesome. For what its worth, a lot more people are going weird now than they used to. People used to be almost uniformly conformist. In 1. 95. 0, only 5 of parents strayed out of the Top 1,0. In 2. 01. 2, 2. 7 of parents went weird and left the Top 1,0. This is part of a broader trend away from conformity In 1. Top 4 boys names John, William, James, George covered one in every four boys. In 2. 01. 2, the Top 4 boys names Jacob, Mason, Ethan, Noah cover only one in every 2. Go a Little Weird But Not Too Weird. Examples Ashton, Wyatt, Luca, Brooklyn, Delaney, Alexia. Benefits Youre being nonconformist but without most of the drawbacks in Category 2 If its a really good name people will be jealous and youll be all thrilled with yourself It says My parents are cool but not too annoying. Drawbacks You might be a little too pleased with yourself for someone who still let the Top 2. Theres a chance a lot of other people feel the same way about that unconventional name and you inadvertently find yourself as part of a Name Fad. This category is perfect for parents who are far too thrilled with themselves and are having far too special a child for a Timeless or Top 1. Name, but who also look down upon those who go for a Super Weird Name as annoying or unclassy. In case youre wondering, most of my friends went with Category 3. But lets focus on something I mentioned in the drawbacks The Name Fad. It turns out that sometimes youre not the only one who loves that fresh, oh so pretty name, and a Name Fad happens when millions of Category 3 couples all start to say Wait I like that when they hear about someone else making a great Category 3 choice it can also be started by a famous persone. Mileys in the last decade. Suddenly, that name so perfectly placed at 1. Then the next year its 4. Then 1. 8. Then 5. All to the horror of the Category 3 couple. You know when everyone calls a guy by his nickname except his parents, who use his full three syllable name I think part of that is trying to wrench individuality from a fad name. The fad is heightened by another large category of parent choice4 Just Dive Into the Current Honeymoon, Knowing Youre Picking a Popular Name. Examples Anything from the current Top 2. Benefits Safe Hip Bonds your child with hisher whole generation in a broad sense. Drawbacks There will be three other kids in the class with the same name and theyll be referred to along with their last name initial Your child will one day have a Middle Aged Name, and one later day, an Old Person Name. To me, studying Name Fads throughout time yields the most interesting information because it speaks about something society is doing as a whole at a given time. Lets spend the rest of the post digging into Name Fads and how they workName Fads. Heres what a Name Fad looks like Between 1. Jennifer, and now, no one does. So Jennifer was officially a Name Fad. What this means for all the Jennifers of the world is that while theyve enjoyed spending most of their life so far with a cute, hip, young girl name, they are on their way to having a Your Moms Friends Name name. A Your Moms Friends Name name happens when lots of middle aged people have a name that no young or old people have. A few decades after that, Jennifer can look forward to having an Old Lady Name, which happens when a name belongs to lots of old ladies, but no one under 7. This isnt necessarily a bad thing, but its a fact that Jennifer is irreparably branded with her generation forever. Of course, Jennifer is just one of many such names.
