Names Inspired by Lucy

Image
Lucy has been used consistently for centuries. It began as an Anglicization of a saint's name and has since been frequently popular among English-speakers. In the United States, Lucy was a top 100 name through the mid-1920s. It returned to the top 100 in 2010 and recently returned to the top 50.  While Lucy never completely went away, it is a revival name that is popular for the second time. Thus, the name is both timeless and vintage. In addition to appearing in every era, Lucy fits a range of personalities, from the ladylike to the spunky. Lucy is also short, sweet, and had a nickname-like sound despite its roots as a full name.  This list will appeal to parents who love Lucy but find it too popular or ordinary. Name enthusiasts who love the name Lucy and parents seeking sister names will also enjoy this list. The names listed below have the same qualities that make Lucy appealing without sounding too similar or different. None of them rank in the current top 100, either. Here ar

Predicted Top 100 Girls' Names 2022

With the new name data coming out this Friday, it is time to predict the popular names once again.  I will begin with the girls' top 100.

Here are the names I think will enter the top 100: Eloise -Eloise does not just fit in our era of "el" names, but its kidlit connections also makes this today's Madeline. It rose nearly 30 spots last year to #109, so it will take under 10 spots to make this popular. Iris -Iris is a goddess name in the key of Luna and Aurora and a vintage nature name like Hazel and Ivy. It has also risen 20 spots to #107 last year. Maeve -This has risen from the 170s all the way to the 120s last year under the influence of the television series Sex Education . Rising just 25 more spots will make this popular. Raelynn -This has risen little this past year, but its similarity in country-singer association to Paisley gives it potential.  When new names enter the top 100, there

Timeless Girls' Names

Image
Every generation, names cycle in and out of favor. Thirty years ago, Ashley and Jessica were among the most popular names. Since then, Everly and Luna have taken their place. However, there are names sound acceptable in every era, even if they weren't always popular. These are classic or timeless names. In order to count as a timeless classic, a name must have seen centuries of consistent use. They also must have seen American use with no sharp peaks or troughs. Many timeless names also have international variants or are used in international countries even though that is not necessary. Regardless, they should not feel tied to one group of nations or languages.  I have to say, though, that this list is not perfect. You might think some of these names don't belong here. For instance, some might be too tied to foreign languages or feel too vintage for some people. However, these names are all easy to pronounce in English and none have every peaked or dropped sharply. Here are som
