How about predicting the next big trend in baby names?

I'll guess that parents will become aggressively belligerent by following the band-naming trend of removing all the vowels and giddily watch people try to pronounce them.

Followed by a backlash trend using nothing but vowels.

Followed by literally spilling Scrabble tiles and using the first seven letters selected (in order). Like my username, for example.

Last name as first names, but not in the way it's being done now (Griffith, Madison, Jackson, etc.), but rather with more blatant last names like O'Brien and Mancini.

Got any extra firstborns?
My children will have good biblical names, like Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Toilet-Tunka.

went to a christian school and the joke was some kid would eventually be named concordance (the thing in the back of a bible that's like a word index)

Nothing, as long as you spell it V'nycce'ə

Next trend: IPA notation names
