Help[Opinions] Re: Name Trends
in reply to a message by NelleR
Eileen, which peaked in use in 1943 because of the film "My Sister Eileen" but had a previous peak in the 1920s, has already started to inch up in use in the USA. Howeverm in normal circumstances it would be way too soon for Scott and Kelly to come back as their previous peak was in the 1970s and it's almost unheard of for names really common for 50 year olds to come back for newborns. So I really think this article is wrong about them.
It also would be a big cultural shift for names definitely identified as female for a while to be used again for boys. Eden might be a rare exception because of its use as a male name in Israel affecting Jewish Americans.
