Yes, Millennial Mom Names Can Work for Alpha Era Girls!
Yes, Millennial Mom Names Can Work for Alpha Era Girls!
Dec 28, 2024 8:40 AM

  Millennials, those born in the eighties through mid-nineties, are the generation having babies in 2019. These children are a part of the emerging Generation Alpha, defined as anyone born from 2010-2025. Gen Alphas come into the world with iPads in hand and social media handles pre-claimed—a vastly different experience from their parents’.

  Baby name trends have also changed through the generations. Gen X stalwarts like Jennifer and Amy, which remained popular for Millennials, are rare choices for a Gen Alpha baby. Names like Sophia and Olivia were up-and-comers during the Millennial generation. They rapidly increased in use during Gen Z and are now enjoying their status as some of the defining names of Gen Alpha.

  We’ve taken the top 100 Millennial girl names and reinvented them as Gen Alpha names. These names are fresher than their Millennial counterparts, and act as markers of the generation.

Modern Girls’ Names: Zhuri, Marlowe, and Vale
Dec 28, 2024
  By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain   Is the way we name our daughters changing?   The way we name our sons in 2014 feels different.  For years we relied on Biblical favorites with a few hardy Germanic go-tos mixed in.  But since the 1990s, we’ve seen names like Tyler, Mason, and Jayden...
The Two Aggies: Agatha and Agnes unbuttoned
Dec 28, 2024
  By Linda Rosenkrantz   For what seems like forever, this pair of sainted sister names, Agnes and Agatha, have seemed like the quintessential starched, buttoned-up, high-lace-collared, mauve-dressed Great-Great-Grandmother appellations.   I’d like to propose that we let the unbuttoning commence.   Agnes has a bit of a leg up on several counts:   1....

Girl Baby Names: Something Old, Something New
Dec 28, 2024
  By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain   The good news about naming a girl: the options are limitless.   The bad news about naming a girl: the options?  Limitless!  How do you choose?   In the US, around two-thirds of all newborn girls are given a Top 1000 name.  We play it safe with...
