I know the question is directed at OP, but it's interesting to think about modern names I do like, especially for girls, since they're more subject to trends for some reason. I think as categories go, I do like "word names," all names started out as a word in some language or other, so it's a natural evolution imo, and surname names, especially when used to honour someone. Examples of some word names I like are Navy (which I associate with a shade of blue), Apricity, Briar, Ivy, North, Selah, Psalm etc. I even like Journey when spelled correctly. Surname names I've seen for girls and didn't hate include Collins (apparently it's well established in the US, but it's new to me), Sloan, Bronte from the Anglosphere. I considered using Couché (a variant of my grandmother's maiden name, pronounced koo-shay) for one of my twins.
