Names of the future
| Fri, 07-09-2004 - 3:36pm |
The way naming trends come and go fascinates me. If the current trends continue this is how I see the future:
Girls will all have last names, traditional boy’s names, and fun spellings:
Billy
Pfeiffer
CkiMburl8
Kevin
Jones
2loolou
Boys will only have inanimate objects left as names:
Couch
Tailpipe
Bridge
Bark
What is your vision of the future?

Bologna, Zucchini, Rhubarb, Molasses.
Molasses Anne, Zucchini Rose (you know, to keep it feminine) hahahahahaha
With the latest Coco and Apple.....I just see a trend towards food.
Ethel
Mildred
Bertha
Agnes
Earl
Hezekiah
Abner
Elmer
etc.
This is not to say that I don't like the current trend of using names from the past. :)
Also, in addition to Couch, Bridge, Tailpipe, and Bark, we will have Couchen, Bridgen, Tailpipen, and Barken.

I have seen many Kennedys, Carters, and Reagans lately...so I fully expect to see other presidents soon...
Bush (maybe Bushie for a girl - or just mess up the spelling some...like Boosh, Boosch, Hbusch)
Eisenhower
Nixon??? maybe Nixon Anne for a girl?
Colors are back in...i.e. Violet, Ruby, etc. How about:
Cerulean
Black
Brown - Brownie Kate? That goes with the food theme, too.
Clarence (nn Clare)
Irving (nn Ivy)
Melvin (nn Meli)
Herbert (nn Berti)
Norbert (nn Nora)
Edgar (nn Edie)
Arnold (nn Nola)
Also, there will be no more boys' names left. They will all be used for girls. Boys will be called by numbers.

When I was preggo w/my 4th child, my dh and I got into H U G E fights all the time over the girls name........he wanted to name her Corvette and call her Cora for short! Heck no! Forget that!
Don't forget:
Chartruess
Fuschia
Cornflower! LMBO!
Periwinkle (C'mon! If they have Peri as a nickname, isn't that masculine enough?)
I think that we are going to get so entrenched in technology and an eventual 55 hour standard work week that people will start to yearn for time off, clean air, blue skies and forests. People will also have little space due to our population growth. All of this will show up in baby names...
We'll welcome children into the world and name them...
Girls:
Cloudy Water
Sunny Meadow
Winter Leaf
Spacious Flowers
Boys:
Pine Falls
Maple River
Time Away
Soil Dew
Rock Fields
