Help[Opinions] I'd love to know where they get those from...

I mean Sumner? McGregor? Waverly?
Pretty much the whole boys list are surnames. I just don't get how those authors could justify most of those names and expect that tried and true classics like William, Michael, Jacob, Daniel etc are just going to disappear...

The theory is the names that are popular among the most affluent will become popular with the general public in about 10 years, thus the names on the list were apparently the most popular names with the most affluent American's in 2005.
I find that theory lacking myself, and doubt Waverly will become a big hit. I agree that classics like William and Jacob will more likely be popular than some on the list like Sumner. I also found many names missing from the list that I think will be very popular in 10 years or less:
Lucy
Nora
Stella
Henry
But no one can predict the future so I could just as likely be wrong. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
