NEW YORK, NY — The New York Post reports that millennials are expressing regret over their hipster baby names. From Tove – pronounced TOH-vah to Kairo or Zayd, Oaklynn or even Paisleigh…
Baby naming site NameBerry.com reports that “People are working a lot harder to come up with a name that is really distinctive and has a lot of personal meaning.”
“Meanwhile, dooming their child to a life of spelling it for other people.”
Ensley is last year’s fastest-growing name for girls and it’s popularity is credited to being the name of one of the babies on MTV’s Teen Mom.
Melania, like our First Lady, jumped from #1650 on the Social Security Administration’s popular baby names list to #930.
And for boys, there was a rise in the name Ledger. This name has two suggested nicknames on babynamewizard.com: “Edge” and “Ledge-Hammer.”
