''U' names have been trending upward,' according to a baby name expert.
Why? Wattenberg says it's about the pronunciation.
"Parents are drawn to the long 'U' 'oo' sound more than the short 'U' 'uh' sound," says Wattenberg."To hear the difference, try saying Luke vs. luck. The long 'U' has brought the biblical names Uriah and Uriel to new popularity heights, and the classical name Ulysses is showing new life as well." Observe the power of"U" names, which belong to politicians, Hollywood stars and athletes: former U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant, actors Uma Thurman and Uzo Aduba, musician Usher Raymond and Olympian sprinter Usain Bolt.
