You Named Your Kid "John"? How Odd
-
They actually studied the psychology of picking baby names and found that parents instinctively shun names that are most recently popular instead of names that are too popular and are on the way out. They can track the "momentum" of names up the chart as "older" names lose favor, and the rate is accelerating. And I'd make some jokes about the new wave of wacky names, but I have dear friends who named their kids stuff like Zazz and Mighty and other unusual choices, and I admit I'm getting kinda used to those.
