Help[Opinions] Re: A little rant on old-fashioned names "coming back" (m)
in reply to a message by a masked man
"...there's a clear correspondence of names getting big in the UK and then getting big in the US 5-10 years later."
Or vice versa as in the case of Edith and maybe Florence, which were popular in the US and then caught on in Britain. The usage of some names like Alice and Evelyn don't seem to have been inspired by another countries use; it seems more related to old fashioned names making a comeback.
With names like Sophia, I think the US trend may have been more inspired by Italy and widespread trends, and Camila is more due to Spanish influence.
