Help[Opinions] Re: Trendy? Where?
in reply to a message by Kinborough
more UK than N. Am. (on a yahoogroup I'm in... I highly recommend the UKmidwifery yahoogroup, btw)... but has popped up on BTH board various times which seems to be more N. Am. than anywhere else (but does have a mix).

"trendy" names aren't always the MOST popular, but suddenly more common than usual somewhat out of the blue...
turns out it's in the top 40 in Australia for a few years too.

So possibly crept up over a period?
Rather than a sudden blast? I suppose the definition of trendy with regards to names is a bit more complex than it seems.

I never started hearing/seeing it until a few years ago when it was suddenly in my face... In England and Whales, it's been a few years longer, but in Scotland and Australia, it's just the past few years... which could make it a trend of people suddenly starting to use it because they think it's different, but now it's not so different... It's just ugly.
