Beyond Harper and Arlo: Names with an “Ar” Sound
The Well-Informed Namer

Names rarely become trendy on their own. When one name hits the Top 10 or 20 in popularity, it tends familiarize other similar names and popularize them too.

I’ve sometimes wondered why Campbell isn’t a more popular baby name. By all rights, it should be! Pronounced “Kam-bull” (the ‘p’ is silent), it sounds a lot like the tried and tested names Cameron and Camden.

Let’s talk about Ottilie. Ottilie is an old German name that’s increasingly popular in the U.K. And although it’s still rather rare in the United States, recent upward trends in both countries lead me to believe Ottilie has what it takes to become the next “it” name for girls.
