Lacy, Frilly, Pretty

Oh I just couldn't resist posting this one.  I have found another fun name list (surprise, surprise....).

This list has to do with the frills in the celebrity baby community.  The author of the article calls this phenomenon "Frilliana".  To give you an idea of what exactly this means, I'll give you her guidelines to recognize a "Frilliana" name.

"How to recognize a Frilliana:
•Ends in -ana, and probably with -iana or -yana
•Has three or four syllables. (Dana is out.)
•Has been invented (or, as in the case of Aviana, resucitated) only recently. (Diana is out.)
•Is likely to start with a vowel. (Aiyana is in.)"
 
Also, here are some of the names she gives as examples:
•Adriana
•Aliana
•Elliana
•Iliana
•Giuliana
•Lilyana
•Mariana
•Tatiana
•Viviana
•Yuliana
 
I do love Adriana, Lilyana, and Iliana.  I actually met an Iliana and that is a name I never expected to hear.  She was one of my 8th grade tutoring students, so she would have been a mid 90's child.  I suppose she was one of the first in this trend.  I'm sure these type of names have been around for a while, but they are more than likely going to start rising on the charts and fast.  Celebrities tend to set the stage for new naming trends so expect to see a few more of these frilly names in the future.
