Help[Opinions] Re: Trendy?
in reply to a message by Llewella
Well first of all, looking at the popularity surprises me. I thought it was much more popular.
Secondly, it's not so much the name within itself that's trendy, it's the feeling and elements of the name. Let's see:
It starts with a K sound
It's two syllables
It's Irish
It ends with -an
It came out of nowhere in 1992 in the US
ETA: Other names I group it with in my mind that have the same sort of Irish-turned-trendy-American-unfortunately feel:
17. Logan 0.694
27. Aiden 0.595
39. Kevin 0.478
40. Evan 0.465
54. Aidan 0.381
55. Connor 0.378
64. Brayden 0.328
92. Caden 0.229
93. Brady 0.225
98. Kaden 0.205
101. Devin 0.199
102. Ayden 0.196
119. Colin 0.164
125. Peyton 0.153
132. Nolan 0.144
156. Braden 0.122
159. Conner 0.119
175. Cayden 0.106
184. Shane 0.101
185. Collin 0.101
186. Kayden 0.099
Also names like Declan, Keenan, Devin, etc.
