Like a barometer that predicts the weather, fashion designates the most trendy first names, and by default those which are not. The authors of the book L’Officiel des Prénoms (First Editions) analyze these trends to inspire future parents. Focus on a male first name that is becoming more and more popular.
Like it or not, fashion influences the way parents name their children. Like a barometer that predicts the weather, it designates the most trendy first names, and by default those which are not. A source of inspiration for some, it is also essential for parents who wish to give a first name that is original or goes against the grain. It’s therefore difficult to escape fashion… Fortunately, it leaves room for creativity! Doctissimo highlights a rare first name that should see its popularity skyrocket in a few years.
Pio, an Italian and Portuguese first name
Pio means “pious” in Latin. This Italian and Portuguese first name is worn by only 950 people in France. Be careful, however, with its current rarity which is not expected to last. Indeed, it is already part of the top 400 most given first names in 2024 and its rise is not over!
Characteristically, little Pios are honest and persevering. They can be very effective because their structured mind likes to have a framework. Besides, these little boys need to feel safe.
This first name is worn by some celebrities:
- Pio Baroja, a Spanish writer of Basque origin
- Pio of Pietrelcina, an Italian Capuchin, stigmatized and died in reputation for holiness
- Pio Marmaï, French actor who notably played in “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life”, “A Happy Event” and more recently in the film “The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan” showing in 2023.
The first names of the top 500 that will get people talking about them
According to the experts of the book L’Officiel des Prénoms (First Editions), certain male first names will be talked about in the coming years. This is particularly the case of Ambroise, Ange, Aris, Aurèle, Caleb, Célestin, Dario, Énaël, Ernest, Eugène, Ézéchiel, Georges, Harry, Hélios, Jad, Lazare, Lewis, Lilio, Manoé, Mao, Priam, Samael, Tyam and Zack. First names which at present are not yet in great demand but which should become more widespread in the near future. Enough to inspire future parents who would like to find a trendy AND original first name.
