The article explores trends in baby names in the U.S. over the decades, highlighting how names popular in 2005, like Emma and Michael, persist today, while others, especially from the Millennial era, are fading. Names such as Marissa and Kyle have dropped significantly due to generational shifts. Many names peaking in the 1970s, like Jennifer and Eric, are now linked to older generations, influencing parents to choose 'fresher' alternatives. Simultaneously, there is a resurgence of 'old-school antiques' like Eleanor and Hazel that are appealing to new parents.
Names like Jennifer and Michelle, Brian and Eric were holding on in the Top 100 of 2005 but peaked in the 1970s, making them true Gen X names.
Millennial names â those of the current generation of parents â have dropped significantly from 2005 to today.
