Unlike Spinach, Circumcision, and Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, naming your baby Olivia probably isnât illegal anywhere. But little Olivia might run into a different issue: Everyone else her age is also named Olivia.
According to BabyCenter, Olivia is the most popular baby name for girls, followed by Emma, Amelia, and Ava. While some rankings comprise names that prospective parents have flagged as their favorites, BabyCenterâs list is based on which names its members have actually chosen for their new kids. Itâs also updated on a daily basis, so you donât have to wait for the Social Security Administrationâs annual report to find out which names end up on the most birth certificates.
If youâre looking for something unique for your baby girl, you can probably cross most E names off your list. There are 11 in BabyCenterâs top 50, including Ella, Ellie, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Eliana, Elena, Emily, Emilia, Everly, and Evelyn. Names that end in a are in especially high demand, too, from classics like Isabella and Amelia to trendy newcomers like Nova and Aria. Sophia and Sofia both made the list, in fifth and 23rd place, respectively.
For boys, parents canât get enough of Noah, Liam, and Oliver. Using last names as first names continues to be a popular practice as well: Grayson, Carter, Hudson, and Lincoln made the top 50. So did Jackson (17th) and Jaxon (43rd). And based on this data, christening your son Maverick doesnât make you as much of a maverick as you may thinkâthe name is 40th on the list.
