Re: Waverly
I think it's really odd. It was all over the internet a few years back when some naming site predicted that it would be one of the most popular girls names of the future. I don't know where they got that idea from. It makes me think of the Disney show. I don't find it attractive at all. It would be a great name for some hair related stuff (maybe a curling iron). I would leave it on the GP pile but if you really really love it you could use it. It's not horrible, I just really don't care for it.

It was Freakonomics that made that prediction; it was supposed to be popular in 2015 (and it was in a book, not on a site, though basically ever name site wrote something about it). They nailed some of the predictions but some missed completely (or is delayed, like Waverly. They also managed to get one correct but on the wrong gender-- they predicted Harper being popular for boys). They pretty much hit the mark on style, I think. Short of Marie-Claire, none of their predictions would be totally weird on a baby today. I'm going to do a thread on this.
