I would feel bad for Zayden, except that in an alternate timeline where his father was named Brad, Zayden would have been banned Hunter. So it could be worse. I would rather be Zayden than Hunter.

I work with two guys named Hunter and they’re very cool

Wow, and the kids are in Thin Blue Line shirts. What a weird family.

I feel all wrong now because you decided not to list the first three in alphabetic order.

There’s a well-studied phenomenon called “social diffusion”. People of higher socioeconomic status seek out novel, unique, or fashionable baby names and start using them. These names gradually get picked up by families of lower socioeconomic status. Eventually the names become mainstream, and then finally decline in popularity.

Social diffusion is an explanation of how information spreads, not just names.

My understanding is that unique names and neologism have long been a feature of African-American culture where North American Caucasians followed a family naming tradition. I think what has happened is some celebrities have moved towards a unique name scheme. But it feels like a mainstreaming of AA culture more than anything.

The impetus has been there in Europe. Many nations have/had very restrictive rules about names. They’d only have rules against it if people were trying to do it. I had Swiss friends who were very excited that their daughter was born in Canada so they could name her “Sora” which wasn’t in the approved name list in Switzerland.

It’s the male version of adding -lin to the end of a name.

christophski ,

Never heard of this, what are some examples? Maybe caitlin? Just looked that up, it’s an Irish name.

Croquette ,

You take a common name and add “lin” or any variation of that sound at the end.

The only example I have at the top of my head is Jessica-Lyn because I knew one person with that name in the past, but you get the gist.

alcoholicorn ,

I don’t think there’s any history, it was just popular in the midwest in the 2000s

Caitlyn, Kaylin, Ashlin, Jaylin, Roselin, Jaquelin, Shaelin. Same with adding “leigh”

bionicjoey ,

The English name suffix -in comes from the french name suffix -inne which is a feminine modifier. Eg. Jacques is a masculine name, Jacqueline is a feminine name.

Plopp ,

Paiden? That’s a weird one. Payme on the other hand, now that’s a good name.

kambusha ,

Payme Não

bionicjoey ,

I knew someone with that name. Or at least I assume that was her name because she kept repeating it, like a Pokémon. Incidentally, she was a sex worker.
