Which baby name trend are you more tired of?

The "aiden" trend. (Aiden, Caiden, etc.)

The "ee" trend. (Aubree, Kaylee, etc.)

The unisex trend. (Riley, Bailey, etc.)

Update:

Wow, I totally forgot about the misspelling trend and the last name as first name trend. I guess every name is part of a trend at some point, though.

    Those trends aren't so bad. The worst, for me anyway, is when people misspell names. Like, if people want a trendy name, spell it wrong and make it look dumb and unpronounceable. Drives me CRAZY!

    Boy names on girls. There are a couple I like (Peyton), but like Riley is all boy to me.

    I really like Hayden and Aidan, but those are traditional names that gained popularity.

    Although I don't normally like the 'ee' spelling of the name a lot of the names themselves don't bother me.

    I do hate the misspelling trend. I don't know why people think it makes it more unique... the name is the same!

    I have to admit, I like the last names as first names thing... for boys anyway.

    Misspelled names. More so the classic names.

    I don't mind Aiden or Caden. I guess that's because it isn't a trend in my area.

    I also hate how people are naming there children from shows like teen mom. My sister in law just named her son Bentley and I hate that name sooo much and my cousin named her kid Aiden. Ten years from now every kid is gonna have the name Bentley, Aiden, or Addison...or something odd like that

    Unisex! It drives me crazy to hear a little girl named something like Hunter, Spencer, Cody, Avery, Riley (I really wanted it for a boy name but there are too many damn girls with the name), and other names they come up with by adding a y to it to try to make it more girly. You shouldn't have to change a name to make it a girl name, either it is or it isn't and those names I listed above are not girl names. Just pick a girl name and save the boy names for a boy! Sorry for the rant. (:

    Names that the parent wants & they work so hard at spelling it so darn goofy & off the wall! Those are the names I am tired of! Poor children that will go the rest of the life continually having people spell & pronounce their name wrong. Talk about scarring someone! And your own child at that because you were such a freaky goof!

    I'm tired of people stealing babies names of people from television. It's kind of creepy and it turns that person/character on t.v into an idol. Like people taking "Jace" from Teen Mom or "Quinn" from Glee

    From the three you put I would say the unisex. It's not "cute" to give a baby a gender confusing name.

But the Aiden/Caiden/Hayden/Jayden/Brayden trend is my LEAST favorite! I can't wait for the trend to be over with.. Oh and I'm REALLY tired of the names Madison, Addison, "Braylee" WHAT IS THAT!? BRAYLEE!? Braylynn!?!? Oh my gosh these names.. It drives me nuts.
