Are You Surprised? These Are The 20 Most Popular Baby Names Of The Year
Here's what has been trending!
Nameberry has put together some data on the trending baby names of 2020 and well, the list is certainly surprising.
Compared to the 80s and 90s when many of us were born, the names people are calling their children these days differ completely as new parents look towards other cultures, popular culture and vintage names with a modern twist.
Here are the names that scored big this year…
Boys’ names for 2020
- Austin
- Alva
- Acacius
- Tate
- Diego
- Easton
- Lucius
- Cash
- Ash
- Luca
Girls’ names for 2020:
- Adah
- Reese
- Mika
- Paisley
- Amina
- Teagan
- Nova
- Aura
- Pearl
- Billie
Surprised? Big names in 2019 for comparison included Harry, Oliver, Tommy and Arthur for boys, while Esme, Harper, Willow and Amelia were extremely popular for girls.
Interesting. You can read the full lists from last year here.
