Still having a childish name as a grown adult is so weird. It's like parents expected them to never grown out of them.

Since when are the names Dylan and Cody childish names?

No it won't. In different generations different names are popular, that's why you don't have many 5 year olds named Ethel, Maybel, or Bernice. By the time our generation is elderly names like Dylan and Cody will be considered old man names.

I can't help but wonder what kind of names parents will come up with in the future.

There's a whole chapter on this subject in the book Freakonomics and it has a list of projected names. If I remember correctly quite a few of the increasingly trending ones were Jewish. You can also tell what names will be used by looking at the upper class, richer families generally use names first(making them popular or common) then the middle and eventually lower classes borrow those names. Examples of this are Ashley and Tiffany, those names used to be thought of as classy, rich names but now they're used by poorer people.

I realized this problem with Sims. I named my baby sim Timmy, because I forgot that he'd grow up eventually. Then he had to go through his teenage years as "Timmy". Not "Tim", not "Timothy", "Timmy". He had to go to college with a little kid name. He has a kid now, and her name is more grown up than his. And all because I made that mistake. I can't even change it like I could in real life because it's sims. He'll go to his grave as a Timmy. FORGIVE ME TIMMY!!!

"Hey honey, get ready, we're going to see Grandma Watermelonisha today." "Mom, why'd you name me Laquisha? That's such an old lady name. Couldn't you have named me Ethel or something?"
