Travel ball names are now 20 years old, as evidenced by the LSU roster.

Jaden
Dylan
Cade (x2)
Ty
Brody
Gavin
Jordan
Collier
Hayden
Devin
Brooks
Braden
Javen

There are, however, two Wills and one Michael. God bless their parents.

Giovanni gets a pass because it sounds cool and he is sorta foreign. I'll also allow Zach (x2) and Alex (x2) because they are traditional names, but they really didn't get popular until the 80s.

No Matthews, Marks, Lukes, Johns, Jimmys, Joes, Phils, Steves. Not even a Kevin.

ETA: Missed Matthew Beck. My bad. Thanks for the heads up.

White people who mock other cultures' names are just hypocrites

This one doesn't fit with the travel ball names IMO... more of a family name.
