Why do young people like to give their children such ostentatious silly names?

Such as Taylor, Deliah and Callum? I agree that there are too many people called David, Paul and Mark but there is a limit to how unique a name can be before it becomes obvious they're trying to hard to make a point. Have the time I fear they've been influenced by social media.

I don't understand why people abandoned the good old names like Quintus, Sextus, Septimus, Octavius, Nonus, and Decimus!

Oh, let's not forget the classic female names: Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, Quinta, Sexta, Septima, Octavia, Nona and Decima!! [i]Those[/i] were the [i]good[/i] names! None of this Mary or Anne stuff!!
