Predicted Top 100 Boys' Names 2020

I just predicted the new top 100 girls' names. Now, let's move on to the boys' names.

These are the names I think will leave the top 100:

  • Adam (#90)-Adam is a timeless classic that is associated with the first man mentioned in the Bible. However, after nearly fifty years in the top 100, Adam deserves some rest. It dropped eleven spots between 2018 and 2019, too. Falling eleven more spots would put it in the 100s. 
  • Evan (#96)-Evan is a classic variation of John along with Jack. Yet, while Jack is rising, Evan is falling. Rhyming names Kevin and Devin are already out of favor, so it only makes sense for Evan to leave the top 100.
  • Kayden (#97)-The "ayden" names dominated the 2000s yet started falling in the 2010s. The 2020s might mark the end of all "ayden" names, including Kayden. 
  • Parker (#98)-While Parker is becoming more common for girls, it's falling in use for boys. By the time Parker, if ever, becomes a top 100 girls' staple, it will be out of the boys' top 100. 
If four names leave the top 100, then four new names must come in. Here are my predicted newcomers:
  • Emmett (#105)-If Emma has been a top 10 staple in recent years, then it makes sense for the masculine Emmett to become a top 100 boys' staple. It fits in with double-"t" names like Wyatt and Everett, too, and has jumped nine spots between 2018 and 2019.
  • Bennett (#108)-Bennett is a tailored spin on classic Benjamin that sounds phonetically similar to Emmett. It jumped twelve spots between 2018 and 2019, meaning it could become popular if it jumps just ten more spots. If Emmett and Bennett both hit the top 100 soon, double-"t" names will become a boys' trend. 
  • Brooks (#109)-Parents are loving surname-names for boys and girls these days. Brooks is one of the next surname-names to become popular. If it jumped 52 spots in 2019, then it will almost certainly become common in 2020. Brooks also has a natural connection, adding to its appeal.
  • Waylon (#113)-Waylon was originally a country singer with the last name Jennings. Ever since his death in 2002, Waylon has been rising. Rising 29 spots in 2019, Waylon is not far from the top.

Names Inspired by Ivy

Image
Ivy was one of the nature names that emerged during the Victorian Era. It ranked in the 200s in America and was a top 100 pick in England before its decline. Over the past decade, Ivy became a "j-shaped" revival, meaning it came back more popular than ever before; it entered the top 100 in 2018. Parents could be seeking Ivy as an alternative to Ava, another name that is both vintage and modern. However, Ivy has several differences. Even though the nature name is completely feminine, it feels more tailored than girly. Despite ending in the "ee" sound, Ivy sounds more confident than cute (the poison ivy and Ivy League associations could be factors). For those who find Ivy too popular, are looking for sister names, or just love the name, here are some similar names below the top 100: Aster A flower name that also possibly means "star," Aster is rising as a tailored girls' choice even though it is also rising, to a lesser extent, for boys.  Avis This short

Disney Boys' Names

What do Pinocchio, Mickey, and Peter have in common? They belong to characters in Disney animated shorts and movies.  However, as with girls' names, Disney boys' names aren't necessarily those from the movies. Instead, they reflect the values of Walt Disney; vintage names with built-in dreams that are neither childish nor heavy. These names sound child-friendly but appropriate for adults. Here are some boys' names infused with Disney values that will especially appeal to Disney fans: Arthur Arthur "Wart" is the protagonist who draws out the sword and becomes king in  The Sword in the Stone . Disney Legend Art Babbitt injects the name with more dreams. Nickname "Art" and the aardvark of children's literature and television fame add on a friendly vibe.   Calvin Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics might bring up childhood memories. On the accomplished side, there's Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and former President Calvin
