The end of the year is here—which means all of the “best of” lists are rolling in at rapid speed. One that we’re most excited about comes from NAMEBERRY, which calculated THE MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES OF 2023 (based on how many clicks each name receives on the website). Whether parents actually named their children these monikers in 2023 is another matter (be on the lookout for THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION’S LIST in May for the official tally).
Instead, the following 200 names are those that folks are looking up and inquiring about most—sometimes this is due to celebrity baby names and pop culture references, and other times it’s a sneak peek into the baby name trends 2024 will carry forth. This year’s Top 10 list had some surprising newcomers—including Luxury and Royal holding the #1 spots on the girls and boys lists, respectively. Other new additions to the Top 10 include Iris, Caspian, and Hugo.
