Posted on by Dave Ashton

Having a baby this year…or next?

The Social Security Administration just released its annual data on the most popular baby names of 2019.

For boys, the top 10 were Liam, Noah, Oliver, William, Elijah,  James, Benjamin, Lucas, Mason and Ethan.

The 10 most popular girls names were Olivia, Emma, Ava, Sophia, Isabella, Charlotte, Amelia, Mia, Harper and Evelyn.

One name that’s losing popularity?

Karen!

It was 637th in popularity last year…its lowest ranking since 1929 and off its peak of 3rd in 1965.

We don’t expect it to rebound this year!

Ever wonder when your name was most popular?

Punch your name into this website and see…it’s amazing how accurate it is!
