We love to talk about baby names. And each year there are trends that stand out. Usually there's some pop culture event that ends up influencing names. Bella was the top girls name for a while during the Twilight craze, and celebrity baby names always create a bump for those as well.
Names.org is out with its predictions for 2022. They used data from 2020 (the most recent year released) and here's what they are predicting. The group says it's been 95 percent accurate in predictions over the last three years so we will have to check back in at the end of the year to see how they stack up.
They believe Liam will be the top name for boys. And Olivia leads as the top name for girls.
Those at Names.org are predicting there will be a jump in more vintage names this year. Names like Henry, Evelyn and Charlotte saw declines in the 80's and 90's but they are seeing a comeback.
Here are their top 10 lists.
