Choosing your baby's name is a difficult task. This is what your child will be called for the rest of his or her lifetime. And making sure that it fits with your last name adds a whole new element to work with. Then it's being certain that the name won't make the child stand out in a bad way in school. Too often I think that parents go for a trendy name to make sure this doesn't happen. The worst part is when they become part of a horrible naming trend. For girls, we remember names like Tiffani not too long ago racking up the top ten lists. For boys, I submit my list of the top five worst trendy boy names, in no particular order.
1. Logan - I have known some cool Logans in my time. But I dislike the name. It's one of those names that moved from being a last name to a first and subsequently became extremely popular. Unfortunately, it sounds like loogey. Nobody wants a name that will be made to sound like discharge from the nose when he's out on the playground at recess. According to babynames.com, it is an Irish name that means from the hollow.
2. Jaylen - This name is part of a rhyming trend with counterparts like Kalen. Babynames.com says it's an American name that is a combination of Jay and Allen. The problem is that when they were combined they came out sounding like a girl's name. I am not completely against names that can pass between the genders, but sometimes it's just not right to give a boy a girl's name. It would not be fun to be the only male Jaylen in class at school.
3. Keegan - This is another Irish name that means descendent of the fiery one, according to babynames.com. It's very popular, but it sounds like some sort of vegetable. "Please pass the keegan and potatoes." I can hear that being said around the dinner table. I don't think that it could be a good idea to have a vegetable boy.
4. Sebastien - Sebastien is a name that immediately calls to mind the movie The Little Mermaid. I could meet a little boy named Sebastien and see in my mind's eye a small singing crab. I believe that quite a few people roaming around in the population would do the same thing. However, it does mean venerable and is from the French, according to babynames.com.
5. Parker - Oddly enough, this name is English for park keeper, from babynames.com. It seems that it would force the poor little boy into a life's goal of working for the parks system. At the very least, it reminds one of Parker Posey, a woman. Once again, it is an androgynous name that could hurt his chances in school.
Of course, these are just my opinions. The actual children with these names are probably wonderful boys. However, I would suggest steering away from them. These boy's names are just too trendy for their own good. Try something more unique but not too unusual. In the end, think of your son's likely future preferences. These will help you to choose the best name for him.
