Why are so many Black families naming their children Jaden and Jaylen?

I've noticed this over the past 5 years but obviously it's been going on longer because many of them are in their teens now.

No idea of why Jaden & Jaylen has become a popular name but many of them are in their 20s & 30s too.😎

Well, the basketball player Jalen Rose is in his 50s.
I'm guessing he is partially responsible for so many women naming their children Jalen and Jaylen...lol.

Perhaps Will Smith's son Jaden also bears some responsibility.

But when it get to the point where nearly a quarter of all the Black children both male AND female are carrying those names, it becomes ridiculous.

You can't walk down the street without hearing some kid yelling down the street: Ja-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

You can't go to a grocery store or mall without hearing some mother yelling at her son or daughter: Jaylen stop, and bring yo' ass on!

Well, there could be more kids running around with unisex names like Michael, Sydney, Courtney, Dominique, Frances, Jackie, Kris, Patrice, Quincy & Vivian.😁😎
