The specialized site Nameberry has published a list of first names that are likely to be the most given in 2050 for girls and boys. It’s worth the detour !
This is a major challenge to which the American site has lent itself Nameberry : predict the little names that will be the most popular not in a year, but in 29 years, in 2050 in the United States. We know that each year has its share of trendy names. If for the moment Nathan, Eden, Mia or Louise are in the top in France, their place is not guaranteed. Because as often what works across the Atlantic also becomes later in France (perhaps in 2060?).
To identify the key names to come, the site’s experts analyzed thousands of first names given to around 20 babies in 2020. They selected 20 from among the rarest, 10 for girls and 10 for boys. By doing their research, they discovered that “Many names in vogue today were extremely rare a generation ago, in the US statistics of 1990”, said Pamela Redmond, co-founder of Nameberry. So they applied this same method to make their predictions.
What will be the most popular first names in 30 years?
Results ? In girls, unusual names emerge like Xoe, Eleri, or Ione. On the other hand, on the boys’ side, the bets are on more “classic” names, like Clément or Florian. Other names more lunar still are also foreseen: Jupiter, Isidore, Zita and even Willoughby.
Among all these predictions, the Nameberry site still recommends that future parents “Look further if they want a really rare name. There are a lot of hidden gems out there that are going to sound really good for decades.”
