What’s in a name? Unfortunately, not much creativity in 2015…
There’s nothing more exciting for a family than to welcome a tiny, new member. You can’t help but want to talk about baby things when you’re with a parent-to-be, but let’s just say it can be a little difficult to have so many different opinions thrown your way…especially when it comes to picking a name.
Have you ever met a cutie pie with an unusual moniker and wondered what little Sonic is going to be like when he’s 35?! Baby naming is a pretty big deal, so it’s easy for people to judge celebrity offspring, name trends, and the ones that top the list each year.
Sophia and Jackson continue to reign supreme in 2015.
These celebrity-inspired names ranked #1 for the second year in a row by BabyCenter’s annual survey. Unsurprisingly, Emma, Olivia, and Ava were close behind for the girls (notice a trend here?), while Irish-origins Aiden and Liam were close behind for the boys.
The strangest trends of 2015? Instagram filters.
Yep, you heard that right. USA Today reports that names Instagram filter-inspired baby names like Lux (up 75%), Ludwig (up 42%) and Amaro (up 26%) for boys, and Valencia (up 26%) and Juno (up 30%) for girls have seriously spiked since 2014. Also, this year’s exciting space discoveries might have inspired out-of-this-world choices like Jupiter, Venus, and Sunny, which are also on the rise.
