Aiden, Brayden, Jayden ...

By the 1920s, parents had begun naming their sons according to trends, too. In 1920, John still topped the boys? list, but names ending in ?-ard? had also begun to catch on in droves: Edward, Richard, Howard, and Leonard all made the top 50 that year. Other rhymes and near-rhymes continued to cluster together on baby-name lists throughout the decades: Doris, Dolores, Phyllis, and Gladys caught on among parents of newborn daughters in the 1930s and 1940s, as did Evelyn, Marilyn, and Carolyn. At the same time among boys, ?-berts? were born in droves: Robert was the No. 1 boy?s name in 1930, with Herbert and Albert not far behind. In 1940, Donald and Ronald were the ninth and 10th most popular boys? names, while Larry and Jerry took the 13th and 14th spots, respectively.
