Among the most-hated "trendy" names are Jayden, Brayden...They came close, but Little Man's name is not on the "hated" list.
They also hate names they can't spell, including Kaitlyn, which got eight mentions and tied for sixth. (People say "Caitlin" is fine because it's traditional...
And the thackneys did OK on this list as well. ;-)

Michael means "Who is like God?" (gift from God) in Hebrew. But that is the key element. People in the West have generally lost the ties to family (ancestors) that perpetuate names, or the idea that names have meaning.
So we are bombarded with a procession of meaningless names which are mere sound orchestration--and not even always that with good effect.

No worries here mate. We’re Old Testament.

Madison: "Maud's Son" originally a surname.
Due to the English practice of giving the eldest son his mother's maiden name as a forename, it became a masculine forename.
Almost totally unknown as a female name before 1984 and
(And she got it off a streetsign) it became the second most popular female name by 2001.

My son who is in HS right now, he is one of two Marks in his school (a student body of over 1800 kids...so out of approximately 900 boys there are only two with that Apostle’s name)m. We know this as one male teacher (named surpisingly Mark!) ran a search. He is in his late 40s, and for years has followed name trends. This bumper crop of two ‘Marks’ is the most (oddly) he has ever seen in his tenure. There have been multiple years when this teacher found NO Marks in the student population.
The teacher started his anecdotal name study, when he encountered an overwhelming amount of ‘Texas City’ named, male students (Austin, Tyler, Dallas).
For what is worth, my 22 year old son also has a biblical, Apostle’s name (Matthew) and (at same school/district) he was one of many “Matts.”

I never would have thought to make fun of the name Gladys—except that it makes the person sound old.

I wonder how difficult it is to change one’s name? But the hassle of filling out every application and explaining one’s previous name probably dissuades a lot of people.

I am still a little bit surprised when I hear a grown man named Austin. My grandfather born in 1879 and my father born in 1911 were the only Austins I ever knew until the last few years. Now I have a grandson named Austin and every time I turn around I meet another one. :)

There is a farm/ranch in central Texas and the owners have put their name in huge wrought iron letters above the entrance. Their name is BUTTCHEC, imagine any name that came before Buttchec such as Bertha Buttchec.
