  I honestly don't see the -ett boy names becoming popular, but I could totally see a rise in the name Rue!

  I guess I should get used to the name Emmet, but man, I dislike it. 
  

  Yuck.  I don't think I could ever get used to it.

  Been loving Aria lately, most likely due to Game of Thrones.

  I figured Ivy would be on there. Ever seen Beyonce and Jay-Z named their baby Blue Ivy I am liking the name less sadly  

  Interesting that Blythe was on there. I have seen that mentioned a few times on this board.

  I hate to see a trend in WEST names I really dislike West and Weston but DH and I were considering Wesley. I thought it was rather underused.

  I like Adele and Blythe but none of the others.

  I do not get the appeal of Gray-, Ash-, West-, or East- names at all.

  While I wouldn't choose a one of them, I'll take any of the ones on that list (except maybe Cato and Rue) over names like Kinsley. 

  I do think it's interesting how the article breaks down the reasons for popularity.

  mj.reilly:

  There are a few I like mentioned in the article, most I would never use ? simply guilty pleasure names.

  Emmett, Everett, Gray (not Grayson!), Atticus...
  Rue, Primrose (Prim), Adele, Adelaide, Gwyneth...

  I have noticed the -etts a lot on this board, but haven't actually looked up the stats on the SSA. Bennett, Beckett, Everett, Emmett, Garrett, Rhett...

  I also feel like I see Ivy and Estelle more than I used to. Not a fan.

  Absolutely hate the West- names (Weston, Wesley...). I don't get it at all.
  

  I feel similarly. Love Gray (but it's a family name - not Grayson!). Not sure I'd ever name a child Rue, but it's a cute nn. I've also been noticing these trends on name forums more but am uncertain of how they are playing out in the larger population.

  I love the name Rue and I think it makes an even better nn. Don't think I'd ever use it, but I love it.

  I don't get Rue.  It has such a negative connotation to me "You'll rue the day!"

  I like some of the others, but probably would never use them.
