流行时尚来了又去
Whether it's avocado toast, Pokemon Go, or The Rachel, what was popular for a hot minute soon becomes yesterday's news.
无论是牛油果吐司，精灵宝可梦Go，还是瑞秋，曾经一时流行的东西很快就变成了昨天的新闻。
And the same is true of baby names.
孩子的名字也是如此。
Here's a look at some recently popular baby names that no one will care about in 2019.
下面我们来看看一些最近很受欢迎的宝宝名字，这些名字在2019年可能没人会在意。
Brandon Originally used as a last name, Brandon was so popular as a boy's name during the late 20th century that the name seemed bulletproof.
布兰登最初是作为姓氏使用的，在20世纪晚期，布兰登作为男孩名字非常流行，以至于这个名字似乎是刀枪不入的。
That was then.
那都是过去式了。
By 2016, the name's status in the top 100 names for boys was tenuous at best, and still trending downhill despite the best efforts of stars like Brandon Routh and Brandon Flowers.
到2016年，这个名字在前100名男孩名字中的地位很不显眼，而且排名仍在下滑，尽管布兰登·劳斯(Brandon Routh)和布兰登·弗劳尔斯(Brandon Flowers)等明星尽了最大的最大努力，但仍在走下坡路。
Sadly, the only boys bearing this name from 2019 on will probably be named for their grandfathers.
令人遗憾的是，从2019年起，起这个名字的男孩可能会以他们祖父的名字命名。
London From the late 1990s onwards, parents were quick to give this city name to their little ones, but the days of London calling are in the past.
从20世纪90年代末开始，父母们很快给孩子起了这座城市的名字，但《伦敦呼唤》风靡一时的那些时光已经过去了。

Of course, the whole trend of naming your baby after a city seems to still be going strong,
当然，以城市给孩子取名的潮流似乎仍在继续，
but when it comes to using London as a baby name, it looks like it's time for new parents to make a clean Brexit.

Khloe The name Khloe saw a huge jump in popularity in 2007, the same year that Keeping Up with the Kardashians first hit the air.
2007年，“科勒”这个名字人气暴涨，同年《与卡戴珊姐妹同行》(Keeping Up with The Kardashians)首次播出。
Now, though, it's out of the top one hundred names for baby girls, and doesn't look like it's coming back in style any time soon.
不过现在，科勒已经从百大最受欢迎的女宝宝名字中出局了，而且看起来短期内也不会流行起来
Other Kardashian names that no one will really care for in 2019 include Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, and Kimberly, all of which have been steadily declining in popularity and are either out of the top 100 or off the charts altogether.

Mariah While Mariah Carey's music isn't going anywhere, the same can't be said for her name.

Zachary. Thanks to stars Zachary Quinto and Zachary Levi, the name Zachary feels a lot more modern, and popular, than it actually is.
扎卡里。由于扎卡里·昆图(Zachary Quinto)和扎卡里·利瓦伊(Zachary Levi)等明星的崭露头角，扎卡里这个名字让大家觉得更时髦、更流行。
A derivative of the ancient Biblical name Zechariah, Zachary entered the top 100 names for baby boys in the 1970's despite some confusion over the proper spelling.
扎卡里是古代圣经名字撒迦利亚的衍生词，尽管在正确的拼写方面有些混淆，扎卡里还是在20世纪70年代冲进了男孩名字榜单的前100名。
"You did spell my name incorrectly." "What?" "I'm afraid we're gonna have to let you go."

Not even Faith itself is safe when it comes to the 2019 baby name purge.
在2019年的宝宝名字榜单更迭中，就连信仰本身也自身难保。

but there's likely to be a small group of dedicated parents who remain devoted to the name.
但可能会有一小部分忠实的父母仍然喜欢这个名字。
All we can say is: keep the Faith!
