Parents of babies in the United States are in love with names ending in "en". The US hasn't had a run on names with a common ending sound since the first decade of the 1900s. At that time it was girls' names ending in the "uh" sound. Ora, Dora, Sara, Henrietta, Bertha, Debra ... Why is America infatuated with the "en" sound at the end of names? Well, it could be because these names are only two syllables long so they're compact. They're also trendy sounding without being too far out. Do you know that there are seven spellings of Katelyn in the top 1000 most popular names in the US? Stuns you doesn't it? Kaitlyn, Katelyn, Kaitlin, Katelynn, Kaitlynn, Katlyn, Katelin. Hey! and these are only the ones in the top 1000! There are still all the Caitlyn, Catelyn, Caitlin .... Actually I love the "en" sound too, just like so many new parents do. After all, I have two granddaughters: Katelyn and Madison. As Laura Wattenburg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard" humorously says, "If the style speaks to you, you should find your little piece of Heaven, or Eden".
