I thought this was an interesting little article, particularly the part about 30% of boys have a name ending in N and more often than not a girl gets a name ending in A.
My boy's name ends in N!
ETA: Sorry for the busy poll, I was trying to take into account multiple children!

C's name ends in A. I was actually brainstorming names for boys that ended in N if she was a boy (team green). I thought it sounded good with our last name but couldn't come up with one I loved that wasn't already used by someone in our families.

We were thinking of the same thing the other day! Naming our #2 boy, we were discussing breaking the "ending in N trend" since almost all of the kiddos born in our family in the past several years end in "N." My husband wants to be the "rebel" which bodes well for one of my favorite names right now!
ETA: Yes, our first son's name ends with an N.

Most of the names on our girls list ended in A but we ultimately went with a name that ends in E.

Our girl's name ends in 'y'. But the boy name we had picked out ended in 'n'

The name we picked out for our son due in March ends in an N. I had a really hard time with names because every boy name I loved ended with N and our last name starts with an n sound. I don't think they are too similar, but I had to say names with our last name over and over and over to make sure I liked the way they sounded.

DS' name ends in a K, but his middle name ends in an N. Our girl name ends in an E.

I'm pretty sure we're naming our son a name that ends in 'en' or 'an'... not to be trendy, but just because it goes the best with our complicated last name!

Too funny. My DD's name ends in "A." So do all of the girl names we like for our next baby. If we have a boy next, our already-decided boy name ends in an "N."

I totally fit the pattern.. girl name with A, boy name with N. Actually it's an A sound, but not the letter.

Neither my DD or I have a name ending in A. And all the men in my family (hubs, dad & bros) don't have names ending in N either!

My girl's name ends in an N sound (Sloane), and so does mine. Not giving away baby girl 2's name yet, but it does not end in A either.

I have 25 names on my "maybe list" for girls and 10 of them end with A. So… not quite half

I picked other! His name ends in E but it is -ene so it ends with an N sound.

Both boys names end with N but they are both Indian names that don't even register on the SS lists... But I guess the N ending makes them trendy anyway?

@erinpye: I love Sloane's name so much, I can't wait to find out what lil sis will be!

LO was going to have an A at the end if he were a girl. But neither him nor DS have an N. S doesn't have an A. So I was close to the teend with LO but it didn't work out that way.
Eta: DS' s middle ends in an N though.

C's name ends in a T sound. Future possible girls names end in "y" and "-ine".
