So naturally, we're always excited to read up on the most popular baby names of the year. By now you've probably read at least one report on the top baby names, so we decided to round up all of the lists out there for an ultimate guide to baby name lists and trends from 2015. We added in some baby name predictions for 2016, too — so if you've got a baby on the way next year, you can avoid all the overly popular names. :-)
First up, we have the Social Security baby name list. This one is considered the most accurate/official because it comes from data of parents applying for social security cards for new babies. According to their list, the top 10 boy and girl names are as follows:
| 1 | Noah | Olivia | ||
| 2 | Alexander | Emma | ||
| 3 | William | Sophia | ||
| 4 | Michael | Isabella | ||
| 5 | Liam | Ava | ||
| 6 | Jacob | Mia | ||
| 7 | Benjamin | Emily | ||
| 8 | Mason | Sofia | ||
| 9 10 | Logan Daniel | Charlotte Abigail |
What do you think? Any surprising names on the list? We know quite a few Noahs and Olivias, so those weren't at all surprising to us!
Next we have a list from Baby Center, as reported by the parents who visit the site. (Not quite as official, but still fun to see!)
| 1 | Liam | Emma | ||
| 2 | Noah | Olivia | ||
| 3 | Ethan | Sophia | ||
| 4 | Mason | Ava | ||
| 5 | Lucas | Mia | ||
| 6 | Logan | Isabella | ||
| 7 | Oliver | Charlotte | ||
| 8 | Jackson | Amelia | ||
| 9 10 | Aiden Jacob | Madison Harper |
Nameberry also came out with a list of baby name trends from the year, including names ending in "o" sounds and names with "x" in the middle.
But perhaps our favorite trend of the year is this: naming your baby after Instagram filters. Too funny! The names aren't bad, but the influence of social media on our culture can be a little scary!
The always-fabulous Mother Mag came out with a list of baby name predictions for 2016. In typical fashion, Mother Mag came up with a list that is hip but not overly trendy. We love the name inspiration!
And now it's time to sound off! What are your kid's names or what do you hope to name future children? Are any of them on these lists? And how do you feel about having a child with a popular name? Tell us in the comments!
