A reader named Skylar is expecting triplets in June. She writes:
I do not know the gender of the babies yet as my husband and I have decided to keep it a surprise. The triplets will be joining and older brother Beckett Wade (Wade after my brother) and Britton Pearl (Pearl after my great grandmother, also my middle name). I am looking for boys and girls names to name the triplets. I do not like common names, I would prefer something trendy to pair with family middle names.
I rarely get requests for trendy names, so this e-mail really stood out.
One great place to look for trendy (or soon-to-be trendy) names is the SSA’s Change in Popularity page, which lists names that increased in popularity from 2008 to 2009. Here are some of the names on that list:
| Emmett Jasper Paxton Ryker Graham Leon Silas Abram | Arabella Norah Penelope Harper Willow Lyla Melina Daphne |
The SSA’s list doesn’t include names that didn’t make the top 500, though, so here are a few more names (from a bit lower down in the rankings) that also increased in popularity from 2008 to 2009:
| Knox Kellan Archer Hayes Daxton Lucian Dexter Uriah | Harlow Gemma Milan Nylah Myra Millie Leona Catalina |
Do you like any of the above with Beckett and Britton? What other names would you suggest? How about name combinations?
