@Kira-vp7oq

@@Madison-rose No worries! I'd be happy to explain rainbow babies. A rainbow baby is often the name coined for a baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death. The idea comes from rainbows appearing in the sky after a storm, symbolizing hope and healing after a difficult experience.

As a fan of Friends, all I can hear is Monica saying “seven, seven, seven”. Hysterical that a child’s name should remind me of a scene describing sex.

Ermias comes from the late rapper Nipsey Hustle that was killed. He was very influential, and a lot of people loved him. It’s a tribute for sure

Seven is apparently the perfect number and also is biblical so could tie to rest. Maybe that’s why it’s growing?

I loveeeee the name Salem! I’m from the US & I think I like it because it has a fall feel to it & I cant describe why! Maybe because of the Salem witches? It think it makes a beautiful gender neutral name.

I’ve been hearing Salem around hear a lot online! I think that a lot of people have a fascination with witch culture and dark history. My guess is that it’s rising just because people think it’s really cool to be associated with something dark and mysterious. It’s also the capital of Oregon.

Great! I think it would be fun to have a video of names with meanings. I've always been a fan of the first and middle names having a balanced meaning with one being strong and the other soft. Briana (strong) Marie (beloved) and Drew (strong) Lennon (lover)

I really like the name Seven. I think it would common for people to misread it as Steven though. Numbers can have so much sentimental meaning as well as numerology meanings, so I think that could be a cool naming trend!

Giveaway! I could see both Ambrose & Salem rising because of the Sabrina ( love the name Zabrina w/ a Z ) Netflix series. Love both of those names for a boy! Seeing Navy shoot up in the US does not surprise - possible military ties / patriotic US vibes!

Atreus reminds me of Atreyu from neverending story♡

Your sweatshirt is amazing

We live in France and one of my daughter’s best friends is named Ainhoa. I’ve never heard it before but I love it. It’s pronounced here with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Because of Star Trek, Seven is such a girl name to me I could never see it for a boy! I used to have the double-barrelled names "Salem Artem" and "Blair Athene" picked out for years. I'm still fond of them!

I love the idea of having work named theodora nicknamed teddy, that's adorable!

Being from the US, this list was really interesting! I have to say Netflix must influence a lot of moms lol. Archie from the Riverdale series; Salem most likely from the Sabrina series revival; and Seven probably comes from Eleven from Stranger Things as you mentioned. Also remember you saying in another video that parents tend to choose names that sound like Luck or mean Lucky and thinking lucky number 7 could come into play. I have always loved the name Salem- pronounced liked the MA town, not like Jerusalem. I think we are getting to the generation of moms that grew up on Hocus Pocus perhaps? I think it's an ode to a magical themed name, but perhaps more wearable than some. Sal or Lem or Al could be cute boy nicknames, although I've always imagined it for a girl.
