Popular Baby Names

Popular names are the ones topping the charts right now. If you want a name that feels current and well-loved, this is where to look. Names like Olivia, Noah, Amelia and Liam have dominated baby name lists across the English-speaking world for several years.

There is nothing wrong with choosing a popular name. Popularity usually means a name sounds great, has a solid meaning and is easy to pronounce in multiple languages. The trade-off is that your child might share their name with a classmate or two, but for many parents that is a small price for a name they genuinely love.

This page shows the names that are trending with parents right now. Each entry includes the name's meaning, origin and a popularity score so you can see just how widely used it is.
