In a few months my wife and I will have two grandbabies born in our family, what will their names be? We don't know, but what are the most popular baby names this year? Let's first look at boy names and see what names you like.
The top twenty boy names: Noah, Liam, Oliver, Elijah, Mateo, Lucas, Elias, Levi, Ezra, Leo, Asher, Luca, Henry, Hudson, Theodore, James, Sebastian, Samuel, Waylon, Daniel.
I think you have to match it with the last name. If you were choosing, would it be a more common name like Daniel or James or more unique like Luca, Oliver, or Waylon? If the last name was Hoenig,(which it is) do you do the alliteration with Hudson or Henry? Theodore sounds pretty formal to me. I don't like Elijah, Mateo, Elias, Ezra, Luca, or Waylon. Does anything float your boat out of the top twenty names?
What names did I like? Noah, Lucas, Levi, Hudson. I looked at the top fifty boy names and I did like Cooper and Carter too.
Let's take a look at the top twenty girl names: Olivia, Eliana, Amelia, Charlotte, Sophia, Isabella, Emma, Aurora, Evelyn, Mia, Ellie, Lilly, Violet, Sophia, Hazel, Ava, Aria, Luna, Ella, Willow.
My first thoughts on these is it won't be Aurora since that's a town nearby and I can't imagine the name being Lilly, because my mannequin's name is Lily. (although I do like the name.) Evelyn, Ava, Aria, Luna, Ella, Eliana, I'm not really fond of.
The last name will be Martin. I do like Olivia, Amelia, Charlotte, Violet and maybe a couple others. In the top fifty girl names I liked Zoey, Paisley, and Scarlett.
Whatever our kids choose we're going to love the name and we'll get used to it. Do I send them this blog post before I post it? I'll probably wait awhile, but maybe I'll send it to my wife to look at first.
Only a few hours after writing this blog I accidentally found out the name of our future grandson. It is not for me to reveal it publicly, but it is not on this list and I do like it.
