Etymology

Since I was a child I have been deeply interested in names, thanks to the internet I have discovered that I am not alone, there are many websites with forums dedicated to discussing baby names. The study of names has a word Etymology and my favourite site for information is Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of First Names.
Behind the Name is an encyclopedia of babies names from all over the world, from all cultures and includes names from Greek or Roman Mythology, Native America, the Moari of New Zealand, The Bible and Hindu Mythology. This site has a Random Name Generator which is fun and is good for experimenting if you are looking for a name for your child that is a little bit different. It has lists of the top 100 most popular names in England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium and Sweden for every year since the year 2000. It also have the top 1000 most popular names in the USA going back to the 1900's, which is very useful with the growing trend of naming children with names that are now old-fashioned.

I was inspired to write this because I found an old note book with names I have written down in my early twenties and I am struck by how much my taste has changed.
I now like names like Matilda, Eliza, Agnes, Beatrice, Edward, Henry, Frederick and Augustus instead of Sasha, Hallie, Sienna, Kasey, Jordan, Mackenzie, Tyler and Bryce.
I haven't had children yet, but I wonder do women that have their children young consider what they would name the child, had they been thirty.
If I had a baby at 22, a girl would have been named: Sasha, Makayla, Amber or Cassie and boy would have been named: Joshua, Jake, Bryce or Kyle. If I had a baby now a girl would be: Eliza, Helena, Sophia, Coral or Clara, and Boy: Augustus, Leon, William, Frederick, Xavier or Louis.
