" It ’s just entirely overstated . "
Love it or hate it, but unique baby names are becoming more popular than ever.
It seems like there are so many babies who are named after places or things, and the spellings of traditional names have evolved extensively.
And some people have made it clear that they’renotfans of modern names — inone Reddit thread, people shared the trendy names they don’t like, and I’m extremely curious if your kid’s name is on this list.
I’ve rounded up 19 different responses below:
