Nature-inspired names ending in “A”… The key trends in 2025
According to the authors of the book, if the first names of nature maintain a strong presence (Ambre, Agathe, Jade, Iris and Rose), the endings in “A” (Emma, Lina, Léa, Mila), which appeared with force at the beginning of the 2000s, continue their decline. But, the Alba rocket could well change the situation with this initial. Moreover, six first names in the top 20 begin with “A”. The endings in “IA” are the second winning sounds. The Italian Guilia progresses between Mia and Julia while Inaya takes off, she thus gains 8 place in one year!
In 2025, short first names will still be in vogue (1 to 2 syllables and 5 letters on average). Finally, on the horizon of the 2026 projections, two stars could establish themselves in the elite: Luna with her already trendy nature side. For his part, Charlie is catching his breath and could join the top of the women’s ranking.
