Um, Wren is a name. It is my middle name and was my great-grandfather's middle name so that is not really "trendy".

The others deserve a major side-eye. I do like Haven though.

I emailed this to a pregnant friend of mine and she responded that Quintessence Chev__ and Afternoon Mc___ are BFFs totally our college Class of 2031.

LMAO!

I knew someone in college named Tuesday and she is 29'ish.  Also, Wren is also an old name in my family like a pp said.

the list wasn't really about trendy names. just words that had been turned into names. i know a wren, but it is technically the name of a bird. it's been a person name for a long time, but it's still a word turned name.

I see what you are saying. I guess I am just surprised that an "old" name is on the list. To me these names are trendy (and horrible, lol).

As a musician, the name Cadence has always bugged. A cadence is the "end" (of a piece or a musical phrase). I don't want to think of my kid like that. And I have two musician friends who named their daughters this! I have always liked Tuesday...
