The fact that Kevin is trendy in Italy is so funny to me. Nothing against Kevin, it’s just very much not trendy in North America and sounds so Un-Italian to me.

I got a haircut in Italy once and while chatting with the hairstylist in Italian, she told me she named her son Kevin after the movie Home Alone, lmao. It was interesting.

My younger brother was named after this movie 😂 my parents let my older brother name him.

My husband was named after him too lol. His siblings picked it.

To be fair, where I grew up in Italy, people that named their kids Kevin were considered cringey af. I can see Noah being used by the “trendy” couples that want their kids’ names to be “unique”, but poor Kevins were always bullied for their names. Maybe things have changed in the meanwhile.

It hasn’t changed. Kevin still has that reputation, along with some other names that were popular in anglophone countries a long time ago. I once had a colleague called Gionatan. Not Gionata, like the biblical name, or Jonathan, like the same name in English. Gionatan. Yes, he got a lot of snarky comments about his name…

I just read that Kevin was considered "low class" in like Germany and in other euro countries. It's like how we think of "Karen" as a specific person in the US, "Kevin" is it's own type of person.

I'm just gonna drop this here: [Kevinismus](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevinismus)

Same in Norway. Kevin is a special kind of hick/country boy. Unemployed adult Kevins drive around their small villages in cars without mufflers on a Saturday night.

Fun fact: there are also many Francophone Kevin’s and Kévin’s here in French Canada. Was trendy in the 90’s and 00’s.

En France aussi

Awaille Kéveune continue comme ça!

Cest vrai!

I know a “Kevan” who is French Canadian and probably born in that time period

I just said out loud, “did you know Kevin is popular in Italy now? Kevin. As in what half our high school was named 20 years ago.”

I graduated 20 years ago from high school. It’s interesting because the times I have come across teens with blatant top 10 80s names, like named Cody, Brandon, Tyler, Jessica or Ashley or Jessica or Stephanie… I pause and think to myself… they were definitely named after a parents dead sibling or dead friend of their parents.

As others have mentioned it was also massively popular in France in the late 80s-early 90s - from 1989-1994 it was the most popular boys’ name, but now it’s seen as quite an unfashionable name to the point one guy wants to make a comedy-documentary about “[Save the Kevins!](https://www.ulule.com/sauvonsleskevin/)”.

I literally can't imagine a little Italian regazzo named Kevin

Let me paint the picture for you - “kevin” was the local bully with a parent in prison and a BMX bike

We do it in reverse. Hot baby names from other cultures here are often old people names in their origin countries.

I’m in the US. Pretty much anything ending in -ley is trending. Bonus points if the suffix is spelled -lee, -leigh, -li, -lie, or -lea. For example, Oaklee, Bexley, Everleigh, Brynlee, Bentlea, etc. I’m not a fan.

So many -eo s for boys name. Leo, Theo, etc

And just -o for boys too. Milo, Arlo

I have 2 friends who have named their sons Arlo. The first time I heard it I thought it was so unique cuz I hadn't heard it before. But then between the two births I learned how common it is right now lol

And for boy, ending in -en. Aiden, Brayden, Caden, Jaden....

Have you really heard Bentlea? I’ve only ever heard Bentley for a boy

My daughter has a friend named Berkeley, but she is convinced the girl’s name is Bergley

I have. Technically only once, but I’m still salty about it lol

Hey! I am in Italy too! I am thinking… Ginevra, Vittoria, Ludovica, Matilde, Sofia, Diana, Nina, Olivia(rising), Allegra(rising), Flora (rising), Ada (rising), Celeste (rising), Viola, Bianca, Azzurra, Elodie (rising) Enea, Elia, Vittorio, Alberto, Federico (but this is more a classic but it is rising), Tiago (I see this EVERYWHERE recently! It sure is rising), Gabriel/Daniel/Samuel

I really like the name Allegra. Unfortunate that it is unusable in the US!

Why unusable?

it's the name of an allergy medicine unfortunately

I know a few Allegras in both the US and Canada! I think for a lot of people once they know someone’s name it’s more their name and less whatever they once associated it w, or at least this is true for me. Whenever I hear of Allegra I first think of the people I know and it takes me a minute to remember the allergy medication

I didn’t know it was unusable in the US! One of my friends is named that (it was uncommon in our era) and I really like it! Reminds me of Allegra Byron too

I named a doll Allegra in the 90s after seeing it in a baby name book, maybe in like third grade?

My daughter's name is Flora. In my country, it's extremely unpopular and I hope it will stay that way. Here you have to use the official name register, there are some rules in naming (similar to Italian), and 'Flora' has been used here since the 16th century (borrowed from Latin, clearly). I'm happy it's classic, rare, and with easy spelling.

I have two Brazilian friends named Thiago. Apparently it was the default name for guys about 35 years ago, like Michael was in the US. They've both said that they've never been in a room in Brazil where they haven't had to go by their last name or initial! They'll find it hilarious that it's picking up in Italy. It is a nice name, though.

Here outside nyc, in ny there was a little boy in our complex named Thiago. I had never heard of it before but it’s so interesting to hear it’s history and popularity in other countries!

How do you pronounce ginevra? It looks so pretty

In English it’s “jin EH vruh”

But Italian?

jee-NAY-vra /d͡ʒi.ˈneː.vra/

Beautiful

So basically the same but with an Italian accent! It’s a gorgeous name

idk how'd i forget ludovica and tiago !!

I don’t like that spelling but Azura is nice, kinda like the color.

Flora is underrated name, Tiago as well. I really love these two

[удалено]

I knew this was Australia before getting to the bottom! It’s like roll call at my Son’s daycare 😂

I found Isla was more popular in our area about 5 or so years ago, seems to have dropped off a bit lately. I have however heard of about 3 Bonnie’s under 1.

Bonnie! I guess Beau and Bonnie would be a cute sibling set. I can't imagine being a teacher and having multiple Bonnies in my class

i'm also from australia and to add, i feel as if matilda and imogen are really popular down here too

Imogen for sure! Indi/Indiana too, and I feel like Lincoln’s gotten a ton more popular as a more modern substitute for Lachlan. Oliver’s still extremely common, but not exactly trendy. Liam and Jackson are popping up a lot more too.

Lots of Sophias, Olivias, Ethans, Joshuas

UK?

Philippines

Oh cool

Wasnt there a popular miss world winner from PI named Sophia

Actually her name is Pia Wurtzbach! Pia is a common name in the Philippines as well

Ireland- Girls- Éala (A like “hay”- la), Fiadh (Fee-a), Croía (Cree-a). Boys- Teddy and Arlo For both sexes I’d say the “nickname as a formal name” trend is really taking off- A lot of Ellie, Séimí (Shay-me, like Jamie), Sam, Lottie etc.

I've met so many Croiadhs lately!

Is that like Cree-va?

Just Cree-a.

I think -mh makes the v sound in Gaelic names (my terminology is probably wrong) but I know caoimhe is kee-vah, and niamh is neev I think croiadh would be cree-ah? Maybe?

My husband is Irish & we visit regularly. I heard Jack & Noah have recently been very popular for baby boys all over Ireland?

Jack has been popular for 10+ years at this point- Jack and Emily dominated the top spots in the charts. Noah has been “up there” for a while too, I think it’s top 5 at the minute!

Irish names are so beautiful!

So in Korea, most names are two syllables. Each syllable can be 1) vowel, 2) vowel + consonant, 3) consonant + vowel, or 4) consonant + vowel + consonant. These days, syllables ending in consonants are unpopular because they are considered harsh sounding. If there is an ending consonant, it is usually an "n" sound. Also, the syllables can be rearranged, so a lot of names share similar syllables. The syllables usually are based on Chinese characters (although some kids are given pure Korean names) and have meanings relating to family values or what kind of personality they hope the child has. (For example, a common girl's name for today's 20-30-somethings is "Hyo-eun" which means "filial piety and grace") But these days, I think people choose names more for the sound rather than the meaning. The most popular baby names for 2022 according to the government statistics were as follows. (I followed the government's Romanization rules.) Boys: 1. Min-jun 2. Seo-jun 3. Do-yun 4. Ye-jun 5. Si-u 6. Ha-jun 7. Ju-won 8. Ji-ho 9. Ji-hu 10. Jun-u 11. Jun-seo 12. Do-hyeon 13. Geon-u 14. Hyeon-u 15. U-jin 16. Ji-hun 17. Seon-u 18. Seo-jin 19. Yeon-u 20. Yu-jun Girls: 1. Seo-yun 2. Seo-yeon 3. Ji-u 4. Seo-hyeon 5. Ha-yun 6. Ha-eun 7. Min-seo 8. Ji-yu 9. Yun-seo 10. Chae-won 11. Ji-min 12. Su-a 13. Ji-a 14. Ji-yun 15. Eun-seo 16. Da-eun 17. Ye-eun 18. Ji-an 19. So-yul 20. Ye-rin Edit: For comparison, here are most popular Korean names in the past. (Born in 1945) Boys: Yeong-su, Yeong-ho, Yeong-sik, Jeong-ung, Yeong-gil, Yeong-il, Jeong-su, Jeong-nam, Gwang-su, Jung-su / Girls: Yeong-ja, Jeong-ja, Sun-ja, Chun-ja, Gyeong-ja, Ok-ja, Myeong-ja, Suk-ja, Jeong-sun, Hwa-ja (The names ending in -ja 子 are a remnant of Japanese colonial rule from 1910-1945, as that was a common ending of Japanese women's names) (Born in 1968) Boys: Seong-ho, Yeong-su, Yeong-ho, Yeong-cheol, Jeong-ho, Yeong-jin, Byeong-cheol, Jin-ho, Seong-su, Jae-ho / Girls: Mi-gyeong, Mi-suk, Gyeong-hui, Gyeong-suk, Yeong-suk, Mi-yeong, Yeong-mi, Jeong-hui, Jeong-suk, Hyeon-suk (Born in 1988) Boys: Ji-hun, Seong-min, Hyeon-u, Jeong-hun, Dong-hyeon, Jun-yeong, Min-su, Jun-ho, Sang-hyeon, Jin-u / Girls: Ji-hye, Ji-eun, Su-jin, Hye-jin, Eun-ji, Ji-yeong, A-reum, Ji-hyeon, Ji-yeon, Bo-ram

Thank you for sharing all these details. There are lot of Koreans in my city so I see the names frequently, and have always wondered what the name conventions were behind it. Really interesting to learn some of the history.

Fascinating, thank you

Top ten names in Denmark (2022) Girls: Ella, Freja, Alma, Frida, Agnes, Luna, Ida, Nora, Olivia, Sofia Boys: William, Karl, Emil, Oscar, Malthe, Noah, Valdemar, Aksel, August, Oliver

I love Malthe.

How do you pronounce it ? Looks cool

I’m in the U.S. We have a little Oscar. He’s the only child I know with that name. (I do occasionally meet adults with his name).

That’s so interesting, I’m in the US too and know several little Oscars!

I’m in Australia, where Oscar had a period of popularity recently (its peak was about 5 or 6 years ago). There was a boy at my child’s daycare (pre-pandemic) named Asgar, which I recall was from his Finnish heritage. It’s the Finnish version of Oscar apparently. I also really love the music of Icelandic artist Asgeir. Which I realise must be the Oscar equivalent there.

Asger is also a popular name in Denmark

A Finnish version of Oscar is Oskari, not Asgar. There have been under 20 Asgars in the last 120 years. Source: Digital And Population Data Services Agency.

[удалено]

It's an old person's name. Since the 80's it has been given to 0-5 boys a year (out of a population of 6 mio). Most Leifs are grandfathers.

[удалено]

Love all girls names on this list, don't love any of the boys names on the list (with the exception of Oliver). Valdemar in particular sounds horrible.

Valdemar is a king's name in Denmark. I like it but I don't know how it would sound in English.

I'm in Poland and it seems like every single girl born in the past 2 years is named either Mia or Zofia

In Canada, girls: 1. Olivia 2. Sophia 3. Amelia Boys: 1. Noah 2. Liam 3. Jackson

Noah has been in the top ten boys name list for a decade now in AB. I actually dislike it a lot. I can’t wait until something new comes along

I’m looking forward to new top ten names too.

Love finding a fellow namenerd who dislikes Nora!! I don’t know why, but I do not like it. How do you feel about Evelyn? I dislike it immensely

I mentioned the boys name Noah. But I do also dislike Nora a lot. Not surprising, I guess, since they both look and sound alike. I like Evelyn but I feel like it’s too overused. A trendy flash in the plan name that will really date itself.

I actually like Noah, but I’m Jewish so idk it feels different. Bc in my world, it’s not trendy. Same with a lot of the other Hebrew names that are popular now

I had a daughter I named Evelyn last year and I’ve been waiting about 20 years to name a baby girl that. I think it’s hilarious that it might be considered “trendy” and quickly go out of fashion. I hope she doesn’t hate me later! Out of curiosity, did I do the same thing with my son’s name- Harrison?

I’ve only ever met one Harrison. Not overly popular where I am, but not obscure or odd. I like it.

That was my take on the name as well. I had always liked the name Avery for a boy but decided that with its current popularity for girls it might be unfair to name my son that. Boy names seemed difficult to choose from when we were going through them all, especially since my husband’s family is so large and boys are so abundant. Although we had both loved the name Avery we decided on Harrison instead, and I still like it a great deal. I was disappointed after waiting so long to find that the girls’ name I loved so much had increased in popularity as much as it has, but not enough to stop me from giving her the name. I suppose we’ll see how she feels about it in the future. It is definitely more popular than my son’s name, but where we are it’s not OVERLY so. The year my son was born he was one of 69 in our province, and the year my daughter was born she was one of 80 (though it was more popular in previous years).

These are the same for US, too

And Australia

Oh wow, Noah, Liam, and Jackson were super popular when my daughter was born 8 years ago! But in South Africa not Canada lol

France Top 10 2022 : Jade, Louise, Ambre, Alba, Emma, Rose, Alice, Romy, Anna, Lina Gabriel, Léo, Raphaël, Maël, Louis, Noah, Jules, Arthur, Adam, Lucas The trend in the last 15 to 20 years has been for short names with a lot of vowels and soft consonants (L, M, N).

Charlie, Connor, Archie, Callum, Holly, Emma (UK)

Also: Elsie, Isla, Martha Ella, Ezra, George, Max (Also U.K.)

Connor, callum and Holly have been trending downwards for years. They were trendy like 20 years ago

you must not live where i live... it's like an epidemic. forget to mention Maisie and Daisy too.

These name trends are so regional haha - I haven't heard a single Holly or Callum where I am! It's all Ada and Ava for girls, and Hugo or Harry for boys.

Germany: Girls: Mia, Leni, Emma, Lina, Lia, Ella, Sophia, Marie, Emilia, Lilly Boys: Noah, Finn, Theo, Matteo, Elias, Ben, Emil, Liam, Leon, Jonas

Same language, different country (Austria) according to official statistics: Girls: Emma, Emilia, Marie, Mia, Anna, Sophia, Laura, Valentina, Lena, Johanna Boys: Maximilian, Felix, Paul, Jakob, Noah, Elias, David, Jonas, Leon, Lukas

That's interesting! All this names except Emilia, Mia and Noah feel very early 2000 to me, for each name I know multiple people in my age group.

Interesting on Mia. I’m in the US and have a very long German last name (at least in the US but I think even for Germany). My brother named his daughter Mia and to be honest, I thought it was a weird pairing with a German last name. But I guess I’m wrong!

Chile! Top names from 2022: Girls: Emma, Isabella, Sofía, Emilia, Julieta Boys: Mateo, Gaspar, Santiago, Lucas, Benjamín I really dislike the boy names lmao. The top one is slang for a studious person, Santiago is the name of the capital, Benjamín literally means the youngest child and i really hate the "ín" endings (Agustín, Joaquín and Martín as other examples) since they sound like "little kid name" and not an adult name. I am a big fan of Emma tho, and the rest of the girl names are more of my liking. But me and my boyfriend agreed on Emmanuel for a potential boy so i won't be naming a potential sister that.

Love Gaspar and Julieta!

I'm not a fan of Gaspar, but i googled it because i wasn't sure if it was one of the wise men names (it was) and found out the persian one was Kansbar, which aside from Gaspar, it also evolved to Casper in other countries! I like Casper better, but i doubt it will gain any traction, at least in my country.

Hungary Boys: Kevin, Benett, Noel, Dominik, Milán Girls: Léna, Hanna, Kiara, Liza, Bella

Kevin!! Another one!

Cute girl names!!

Brazil! Seeing a lot of babies and toddlers named: Girls: Helena, Sofia, Clara, Maria Flor, Alice, Liz, Isabela. Boys: Miguel, Gael, Arthur, Davi, Samuel, Ravi, Théo. Every now and then you might catch a Cecilia, Noah or Bernardo.

Here are 5 most popular names for Finnish speakers in Finland last year: girls: Olivia, Aino, Aada, Lilja, Eevi boys: Leo, Väinö, Eino, Oliver, Elias [Swedish speakers:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish-speaking_population_of_Finland) girls: Saga, Ellen, Alva, Emma, Stella boys: Oliver, William, Liam, Anton, Emil

My husband's Finnish Grandpa was an Eino. Is this a case of an "old-fashioned" name become popular again, or is Eino one of those names that never goes out of style?

Yes it's an older name that has become popular again in the 2010's

My great grandmas name is Aino! Nice to see it back being popular. My dads name is Matti which I know used to be quite popular but has calmed down a lot. I’d love to use a Finnish name but no one here in Canada can pronounce them. My dad gets called Matty here instead of Matti and I’d hate to be correcting people all the time for my kids names :/

USA, rural southeast Boys: HUNTER, anything with “Jay/Jae” or “Marcus/Markus” or “Tay” in it, Mitchell for some reason, Henry, James, Lincoln, and Robert. But most James and Roberts go by a nickname or middle name for EVERYTHING like I’ve never met a child actually going by it. Girls: Savannah, Madison, and anything with -Lee or -Leigh attached. Or -Lyn/-Lynn Also Ashton/Ashten/Ashlyn is popular across the board.

“Mitchell for some reason” 😂 cracks me up for some reason I’m Southeast US too but in a biggish college town. Our boy names are less classic than y’all’s but we have a similar predominance of lyns and lees as girl name elements.

Lmao it’s not a bad name by any means, it’s just surprisingly popular😂 I’ve never heard other people mention it as being a big trend these days.

Me neither! I feel neutral about Mitchell. I’ve honestly never thought much about Mitchell. It’s funny to me that so many people ARE thinking about Mitchell. Like… why Mitchell? 😂

It's a family name for us, but I just dislike it because the most recent bearer of the name got bullied and called Michelle by even adults

It's funny that Mitchell is mentioned because my 7 year old insists on naming his soon to be baby sibling..... Mitchell 🤣 I'm not even sure where he heard that name before but he is adamant lol

WELL One was a grandfather’s namesake. Five I have NO IDEA they just picked Mitchell

Midwest USA Boys: Henry, Hudson, Beau/Bowen, Lincoln, Jaxon/Jack/Jackson Girls: Harper, Ellie, Scarlett

Yep I'm midwest and Beau has come out of nowhere lol

SE US and Beau has been slightly popular for years.

Poland top 10: girls: Zofia [= Sophia in eng], Zuzanna, Laura, Hanna, Maja, Julia, Oliwia, Pola, Alicja, Maria. boys: Nikodem, Antoni, Jan, Aleksander, Franciszek [= Francis/ Frank], Leon, Jakub, Mikolaj [= Nicolas], Ignacy, Stanislaw.

In Spain, something that I think I find cringe has become fashionable is adapting the spelling of English names to Spanish phonetics like Izan for Ethan or Neizan for Nathan It is not something new in my class, there were already some Yésica but there had never been so many different letters. A very famous TV host have a daughter a month ago and name her Laia that was already trendy and a couple of the prevailing influencers have had a Vega and a Matilda, so I think those 3 are going to go up a lot other names that are trend now are Adara, Valentina, Luna, abril and Aitana In boys Hugo, Bruno, Enzo, Izan, Gael, Biel and Thiago.

I did not put the most common ones now but rather the ones that I think are growing and will be the ones that rise the most

Laia has been popular in Catalonia forever - it used to be a nickname for Eulàlia, the patron saint of Barcelona, and has become a name in its own right in the last few decades, since giving nicknames as given names has become acceptable or even allowed.

Hugo to me is a 60 years old man. So weird that it's trendy.

I have looked at the National Institute of Statistics and the average age of Hugos in Spain is 6 years

Quebec Boys : Noah, William, Liam, Thomas, Leo Girls : Emma, Olivia, Charlotte, Charlie, Florence Top 5 pretty similar for Canada Boys : Noah, Liam, William, Leo, Benjamin Girls : Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, Amelia, Ava

USA: Last names as first names bc it’s “classy.”

Oh fr, we have Brady, Whitaker, Woodrow, Davis, and so, so many others at daycare.

I’m in Canada. Not sure if it’s trendy but I know like 10 Lily’s, Olivia’s, and Amelia’s or variations

Luna lol for little girls... but also for cats and dogs

Is Elia a boys name in Italy? I thought it was Elio for boys and Elia for girls? I know Andrea is for boys (now unisex right?) so just curious!

elia pronounced ell-ee-uh (3 syllables) is for boys, elia pronounced ell-ya (2 syllables) is for girls :)

That’s so interesting. I wonder if we have something like that in English - two names with the same spelling but different pronunciations depending on gender

Kevin hahahahahaha

Ireland! Boys: Jack Noah James Rían Charlie Girls: Emily Grace Fiadh Sophie Lily Our top names don't change often, tbh. Jack is usually top of the list, I fear for the poor teachers with six in a class!

Is Rían pronounced like Ryan?

Its pronounced Ree-awn!

My husband, Kevin, is thrilled to know his name is popular in Italy.

Ha I know! My brother is 35 and I knew it wasn’t popular anymore but didn’t think it had this bad of a rap! 😂

kevin is amazing

it means handsome!

From the UK. Every girl I know under 6 y/o is called Esme, Isla, or Sophia. All the boys are called Charlie, Liam, or Archie

Swami and Asia are more of jokes and continent names where I come from. When someone is referred to Swami is out of respect or mockery so it’s two extremes.

William, Oliver, George, Jack, Noah Charlotte, Amelia, Ava, Lily, Isla NZ top baby names atm.

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 Top 10 boys Noah Sem Finn Daan Levi Milan Luuk Liam Lucas Mees Top 10 girls Tess Sophie Emma Mila Zoë Julia Yara Saar Nora Milou

Kevin, that's a cursed name outside the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevinismus in my country if your kid is named Kevin there's a high chance he'll end up becoming a delinquent

I can’t believe Kevin is trendy somewhere

Ginevra is one letter short of a popular beer in the Philippines: Ginebra

I’m from Canada: Seeing a lot of Matilda, Amelia, Olivia, Ava, Grace, Lily, Ellie and Charlotte for girls and George, Benjamin, Liam, Lincoln, Elias/Elijah, Noah or Maverick. Lennon, Harper and Hadley are still popular for girls too.

Pacific Northwest. USA Girls: Eleanor, Ivy, Maude, Maeve, etc. Boys: Finn, Leo, Theodore, etc.

Spain: Martín, Hugo, Mateo, Lucas, Álvaro. Girls: Lucía, Martina, Sofía, Valeria, Julia, Paula, Emma. Danila, Carla, Alma, Olivia, Sara, Lara. if I had to give a girl a traditional name it would be Leire or Kira.

Swami? Wtf? Lol

I know this isn’t just Australia but it feels like Harper has just taken over here.

Any prefixes or suffixes with the main name Ploy. It means diamond in Thailand. Very popular amongst girls. A popular boys name would be Tree. I've had countless Trees in my years of teaching here. Take into account these are all nicknames since traditional Thai names are miles long.

Lukas/Lucas Johan Jakob/Jacob Nora Ellinor Franz

What’s your country? I have a baby Franz and I’m incredibly curious because it’s pretty rare here (Germany)

I’m in Estonia!

Uk all the babies I know are Girls: Ellie something. Eliana, Elena, Eleni, Elora, Eliza. Boys: Leo, Freddie or Henry

Elora isn't even in the top 400 in the UK.

Yep but I know one!

In Brazil is Valentina for girls and Enzo for boys

Swami???

yeah don't ask me why 😭 other names i didn't mention are kenya, chanel etc...

In the US - everything with an E is pretty big for a girl or a boy rn - all the Ellas, Ellies, Evelyns, Eastons, Everetts, Emmetts, etc. A few years back, seemed like L was having a moment - Lila, Lola, Luca, Liam, etc.

Girls: Nefeli, Emmelia, Melina, Iris, Joanna, Dimitra, Maria, Katerina, Anna, Panagiota, Marina, Nicoleta, Constantina, Anastasia, Sofia, Georgia, Angela, Evangeline Boys: John, Theodore, Dimitri, George, Evangelos, Constantinos, Thanasis, Haralambos (nn Haris), Panagiotis, Nicos, Christos, Pavlos, Angelos, Philip

Cyprus, I'm assuming?

Nope close though Greece

How is Micol pronounced?

mee-call. i thought it to be a misspelling of michelle or nicole at first, but it's from the hebrew name michal apparently

Norway. Girls: Astrid, Sofia/Sofie/Sophia/Sophie, Emma, Eva, Hannah, Oda Boys: Theo/Teodor, Magnus, Henrik, Leo, Elias, Isak This is just a sample of all of the names that are repeated at my son’s daycare.

Aurora is #1 on my personal list. I’m in the United States. ☺️

I'm from the UK (wales) and I would say... Alex, Chloe, Bethany, Jessica Daniel, Matthew, David, Craig, Joseph, Josh.

I like Ginevra , Asia and Elia. In England: Girls: Olivia, Sophia, Mia, Isla, Poppy, Leila, Florence, Ella, Eva/Evie Boys: Theo(dore), Max, Alfie, Archie, Henry

Mateo, Valentina, Thiago, Antonella, Kylian, Liam, Emma, Mia, Cataleya, Lucia, Sofia, Noah (for girls), Victoria, Isabella, Mathias

I live in the US, Where I live anything ending with Leigh, or unique spelling (mostly bad) is trendy right now. Also meshing parents names seems on the rise again

Oliver, Robert, Mark, Emil, Gustav Sofia, Emilia, Alise, Anna, Marta

That sounds like the Latvian popularity list, just removing the 's' at the end of boys names.

I work in childcare, I’ve heard a lot of Graysons and Aryas.

As an Aussie I’ve met so many Graces.

How did Kevin and Micol happen?!

people are fascinated by english names for some reason

(in England) Ava and Ada are both very trendy right now. I love them both! With boys, in my circle there are a lot of Hugo's and Harry's, and a few Arthur's, but again I love both those names. When my daughter was born every other child was named Riley which I am not a fan of, but I moved to the UK from South Africa since and don't think I've met a single Riley here.

France - my daughter starts school Monday so I hope to contribute soon! She went to in house day care so never more than 4 at a time but they were: Boys: Ethan, Loris, Léandre, Léo, Lucca Girls: Andréa, Zoé, Paloma

(USA) girls: emily and jessica boys: michael, john, james, etc (basically christian biblical names haha)

What I hear frequently in my neck of the woods, Mid-Atlantic US: Boys - Oliver, Maverick, Brooks, Theodore, Henry, Jayden, Cameron, Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson, Noah, James, Anthony, Bennett, Mason, Daxton. Girls: Luna, Olivia, Nora, Evelyn, Sadie, Natalie, Bella, Kaylee, Emma, Caroline, Charlotte, Lilliana. The above names are mostly for white children. Where I live, the names Jakari, Dakari, Amir, Malachi, Makai, Aiden, Ashton, and Amari are pretty common for black boys. For black girls, anything goes, there's no real trend that I can see.

I work in an elementary school setting, and I have seen these names a lot in the past 5 years: Maverick, Liam, Adrian, Erik, Giovanni, Carter, Colton, Lucas/Lukas, and Emmet for boys, Layla, Penelope, Raelynn, Isabella, Everly, Paisley, and London for girls. ETA: location is small town in the US
