Baby names seem to have a natural two-generation cycle.
- Baby names seem to have a natural two-generation cycle.
- Names die out for a generation and then come back the generation after.
- Old names are ones that you've heard before, but don't know anyone with that name to have it possibly tainted for you.
- Delightfully classic.
- This then leads to over-production of the name, which leads to it dying out the next generation.
- Everyone makes decisions on names without seeing what other people are currently naming.
- This seems like the base carrier wave; other waves like names in popular culture can temporarily dominate it.
