First name trends that are being confirmed
According to the observations of Stéphanie Rapport and Claire Tabarly, certain trends are confirmed in first names. Indeed, among the fashionable first names for the coming year are short first names, A-shaped first names with one or two syllables, but also first names taken from nature or even retro first names. For boys, biblical first names or names that have “a resonance in the three monotheistic religions” grow in power: we find Gabriel, Raphaël, Noah, Adam, but also Isaac. On the other hand, compound first names are no longer really popular!
