Is "Elvish" the new "Classic" Millennial Baby Name?

Humor

My partner and I finally settled on a name for our daughter (due in April!). We were pretty stoked, but then I shared it with an Auntie, and her first reaction was, "Oh, that sounds very Elvish."

I’m a Millennial who basically grew up in Middle-earth, and I just finished a Rings of Power binge, so I can’t tell if I did this subconsciously or if I’ve just ascended to peak Girl Dad status.

Now I’m leaning into it. Has anyone else ended up with a "Stealth Elf" name? Are we doing this consciously or subconsciously?

If you’ve got a "Stealth Elvish" name on your list, drop it below. I’m trying to see if I’ve gone too far or if I’m just part of the trend.
