Simple and sleek Biblical names are all the rage today in the United States. Names that neither our parents nor grandparents would ever been named are now trending more than ever. In a word full of Jaydens and Logans, it is refreshing to see so many Biblical names topping the charts.
This is based off the 2013 SSA report in the United States and the 2012 ONS report in the UK.
