Adding more anecdata...my daughter's public school class has names I can't even pronounce - not a single Jennifer, Jessica, Shawn, or Mike ala the names that were popular in my generation. The population of the school is about 40% latino/a, but those kids generally seem to have "traditional" names - Jorge, Jose, etc. It's the white kids that have the funky new age names, both boys and girls. I'd say socio-economic conditions are about the same for all ethnic groups - we live in a poor, rural community. Not sure what can be extrapolated from any of that.
