Felon. The man's name was Felon. I'm not making this up. And he was born in the US to many generational US citizens, so it's not like some names that sadly translate badly.
Felon. I ran across him in a courtroom. Who knew that's how he would end up?
True story. I once knew a family whose last name was "Head." They had several children. They named one son Richard and another son John. Think about it.
In a prior job was an employee who had that name followed by Hung. Whenever his name popped up in a database it was always last name first. Think about it. LOL!!!

I do not like masculine-sounding names for females.
For the longest time I was REAL sick of Linda, Sharon, Karen, and Carol because they were SO common growing up. But they ARE beautiful names, and now that they aren't used anymore I actually miss them.
Several of those are older, classic names that have made a come back. They are not "trendy."
Actually, the poster did not say all of those names were trendy-just that she did not like them. And there ARE way too many girls named Madison, Isabelle/Isabella/Bella, Abby, Sophie/Sophia, Olivia, and Chloe. I have two teenage daughters and those six names account for about 50% of their friends and acquaintances (I would add Hannah and Emily to the list).
No matter how classic, traditional, beautiful etc. a name may be, when you hear it over and over and over it really loses its luster.
So many of you seem to be forgetting the hundreds of thousands of Jennifers and Jasons for at least a decade. I'll take Olivia, Sophie, and Isabelle over that any day.

Why? Those names are just as ubiquitous! And all those Michaels! #1 from 1954-1959, then again from 1961-1998! Jason, OTOH, was never #1, was #2 1974-78, #3 1973 and 1979-80, and #4 in 1981-82. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/top5names.html
