The Name of Newborns


Today I'll talk about name trends in the U.S.

Every human receives their name from the precious person, and they have to live with it throughout their lives unless they tries to offer the administration to change it. Generally speaking, people names their baby after that of name trends because no one likes to be that unique. Certainly if their names after their babies unique, in other word strange, names like Keighty instead of Katie, Danyale instead of Danielle, they would probably resent it after growing up.

This article shows the particular figures concerned about racial name divide. According to the authorities in this field, 40% of all African-American babies born in California are given a name that doesn't appear on even a single white baby's birth certificate. This considerable divide originated in 1970s, when hospitals began seeing a rise in so-called black names.

Japan also has name trends.According to the investigation of Meiji Yasuda Seimei Cooperation,that is one of the biggest life insurance company in Japan, 'Hiroki' has been in the top spot as boy's name for three years in a row and 'Haruna' has been the top spot as girl's name for two years.
Personally, I prefer the short and simple name to long and unique name because simplified name can contains quite deep meaning.

What would you think about this trends?
