Boys Names Gaining Popularity
Over the past few years, we’ve
seen boys’ names like Liam and Noah continue to grow in popularity.
However, names like Oliver have
started to gain momentum, having jumped from ninth to fifth in 2018.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Elijah have
been sneakily climbing the ranks, now occupying the eighth and seventh spots.
Also, less traditional names,
like Genesis, made significant improvements in the rankings, leaping 608 spots
to position 984.
And, Saint, Baker, Kiro, and
Kenzo also all made considerable gains on the popularity ladder.
So, it’s likely that you’ll see a
lot more hipster names at the top of this list in the coming years.
Boys Names On The Decline
With fashionable baby names
becoming more and more popular, thanks to celebrities and social media,
traditional names like Micheal, Craig, Darrell, and Dilan, are slowly but
surely slipping further down the totem pole of popularity.
In 2017, Michael was officially
knocked out of the top ten after 75 years and is currently sitting at position
14, according to the 2018 data from the Social Security Administration.
It’s evident that younger
generations are moving away from traditional names, and are happy to go with
something less formal and even a bit more controversial.
