Baby name wizard, Laura Wattenberg wrote about this trend coming to light way back in 2012!
And the trend is starting to now come to light!
What exactly is a liquid baby name?
Something that rolls off the tongue and is EASY to say (goodbye Mireya and hello Elena).
What does a liquid name entail?
Laura states that these qualities make a liquid name a liquid name.
She says, “I wanted to quantify this trend I’ve been seeing, so I had to define criteria for a liquid name.”
- Requires three or more syllables.
- There should be fewer consonant sounds than syllables.
- Restriction on the specific consonants is permitted. Example-contstants like N, Y and H are allowed since they can be made with an open mouth (unlike m or sh), without involvement of lips or teeth (unlike f or s), and without hard throat sounds (unlike g or kh).
Laura lists the liquid name examples that were most popular for American girls 50 years ago. Babyology also lists some boy liquid names too!
