Trends in baby names

If you compare the most common names that are given to new born babies in the US and in the UK, you will notice that there is a common feature that can be assigned to the majority of these names. The feature I speak of is the usability of the names to be used as diminutives. Many names that were once regarded as diminutives are now regarded as “normal” names. Examples for this development include “Bobby”, “Billy” etc. For boys as well as for girls, parents try to already assign cuteness by their naming scheme.
