This particular trend is for girls but can work for boys too.

Hypothetically if I were to do this, my baby's name would be "Brad Bradford," so I would use your better judgement.

 In a recent report, baby name consultant Colleen Slagen says we can expect a lot more gender-neutral names like "Drew, Noah and Dylan" to become popular among girls.

This trend is just an example of how that movement will continue.

In the UK many vintage names are also making a comeback such as Louise, Dorothy, Mabel and Maisie for girls, and Arthur, Archie, and Howard for boys.

Slagen notes that some old-school names are on the way out.

“Boomer names like Linda, Kathy, Karen, Gary and Bob are not being used as much. The same can be said for millennial names like Tiffany, Caitlin, Courtney, Greg, and Jeff.”
