Help[Opinions] What names do you think will be popular in 2100?
A bit of a fanciful post, but I was briefly studying name trends and the years between peaks in name popularity in the U.S. for currently popular names for a story set in the future. The biggest gap between their peak popularity from the past to now was 141 years (earned by Henry), while the shortest gap between peaks was 78 years (earned by Charlotte).
Out of a very modest pool of 7 names, the median gap between popularity peaks came out to be 116 years.
With that in mind, I was curious what names people thought might be popular in the next century! Will the Brittanys and Tiffanys have their triumphant returns? Will the names that have never left the US Top 10 or Top 100 since 1880 continue hold their spots? Will the rise of a minority-majority population bring a whole new slew of beautiful names to choose from? Will religious names fall out of favor with the downward trend of religious-indentifying people in the U.S.?
Let me know what YOU imagine naming conventions might be like, and what names you think may make a debut or rise from the ashes!
