Lyd_Euh not only compiled the top 100 names from these thousands of
Reddit suggestions, but she also spotted some interesting trends.
“Most Name Nerds prefer classic or old-fashioned names,” Lyd_Euh continued in her post. “There were very few modern names that made the list.”
“Our youngest (12 years old) member’s favourite names are: Dilian (f) and Harley (m). Our oldest (62 years old) member’s favourite names are: Sadie and Stephen.”
