Top Baby Boy and Girl Names Over the Years
To start off with, the line between "girl name" and "boy name" gets blurrier every year, as more and more names become gender neutral — and, of course, any parent can choose whatever name they fancy for their baby.
But when you're looking at baby names, trends definitely appear, and you might want to be aware of them when you're picking one. You want to make sure a name isn't too ubiquitous — choosing a name that's too popular is a No. 1 source of baby name regret, Nameberry's Pamela Redmond tells us — but also one that you'll still love as the baby ages to a teenager and into adulthood. It's hard to find the sweet spot.
When gauging baby-name popularity, it's best to consult with the Social Security Administration (SSA). The agency keeps a list of the most-used baby names every year, broken down by boys or girls. (Sadly, there isn't a gender-neutral option.) And it's been keeping that list for decades, so it can show you how a name's popularity has changed over time.
Below are the SSA's current list of the top 1,000 baby names for girls. The data, the most recent available, comes from birth certificates issued in the year 2020. This list should be no surprise: The top five names — Olivia, Emma, Ava, Charlotte and Sophia, along with Isabella — have pretty much held the top spots for a decade, if not more.
Apart from these evergreens, what names will be up-and-coming? A few trends immediately stand out.

Pop culture is still a big source of baby names.
And if there's one television show launching more baby names than any other, it's Bridgerton. Nameberry, a baby-naming site that keeps track of interest in names and naming trends, has found an uptick in searches for Regency-era girl names inspired by the show. This includes Daphne, Hyacinth, Philippa, Phoebe, Francesca and Eloise.
BabyCenter, which also keeps track of the baby names from its users, agrees that Bridgerton is a big source of baby-name inspiration. But it's also found increases in names inspired by news shows like Ted Lasso (Keely, Bex), old faves like Gilmore Girls (Lorelai, Rory) and streaming shows like WandaVision (Wanda, Agatha and Darcy). Even Vision was up 20 percent, but that's used more as a boy name.
Parents are choosing names shared with strong women.
We could all use a little more strength going into 2022. Perhaps that's why parents are opting for naming their girls after strong women, a huge naming trend spotted by BabyCenter. Topping the list are Kamala (up 20%) and Ruth (up 15%), after trailblazers Kamala Harris, the country's first female Vice President, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the first Jewish female appointed to the Supreme Court. But other newsmakers are climbing the charts, especially athletes, like Naomi, as in Naomi Osaka, or Simone, after Simone Biles.
Names tell us where (or who) we want to be in 2022.
Capri? Bali? Where are you headed as soon as you can jet off to your next vacation? Nameberry sees an increase in those beachy names, plus other nature-inspired locales, like Prairie, Taiga, Bay and Sequoia. The Bump looked into its baby-name search data and found the same thing, with names like Ivy, Wren, Sienna and Laurel on the rise.
Bay is an interesting one, because it also sounds like a nickname. Using nicknames as full first names has been a trend for a while, now, but Nameberry notes that these monikers are getting cuter. They call them "playful names," which are huge going into next year, and include names like Baby, Pixie, Dovie, Honey and Lulu.
However you feel about these up-and-coming trends, before you decide on a baby name, scan the SSA's most current crop of names to see where it falls on the list. And if it doesn't rank in the top 1,000, it's a good bet you've got a unique name on your hands.
