for some reason, I do believe the part about patriotic names. In early USSR there used to be all kinds of weird names. E.g. Vladlen (a name after the glorious Vladimir Lenin)

And the editorial board that crafts that news also knows it, so they are counting on it for that to have an extra pull that way as well

It is common for the general public to name their kids after what's in vogue it happens in all societies and the degree to which they are compelled to do so varies ofc, ergo all the little girls named Elsa that can be seen nowdays
