Top Baby Names
Famous people like Miley Cyrus and Barack Obama have helped the surge of parents naming their children those names. A big increase on new born babies that have the name “Miley” or “Barack”, however, neither one of these names is at the top of the list for the most common baby names these days.
The top boys name currently is Jacob and that is what most parents are naming the new born sons. The name Emily has been a favorite of parents for their new born girls, but that has changed now. The most popular name for girls right now is Emma. It wasn’t easy for the name “Emma” to go ahead of Emily, because Emily was the most common name for girls for the last 12 years. Emma did make it in the top 10 in 2002 and many believe this is because Jennifer Anniston named her baby that on the TV show called Friends.
The name Miley is 127th on the list and this moved up 152 spots. Her stage name of Hannah Montana actually had a bit of a drop. The name “Hannah” was at number 9 for the most common girl names and now it has fallen to number 17.
The new names for boys that are now listed in the top 1000 most common names for new babies are Aaden, Chace, Marley, Kash, and Kymani. It seems the names are ones that we know in most cases, but the spelling has been altered. The new names for girls making their way into the top 1000 list are Isla, Mareli, Milagros, Dayami, and Nylah. It seems the girl’s names are a bit more unusual than the boy names.
I don’t have any children right now, but I do have two favorite names already picked out. If I had a son, I would like the name Andrew and just call him Drew for short. If I had a daughter, I think the name Ariana is the one I like best. What name do you like best for a boy or a girl?
