Girl’s Names that are Here to Stay!
The predicted top 3 girl’s names of 2017 are:
- Emma
- Olivia
- Sophia
According to the US Social Security Administration, these three names have been top trending names since 2009. The recent fashionable and somewhat sophisticated name, Charlotte, quickly rose in popularity in 2016.
It appears that the names Emma and Ava, however, have been top trending names since 2006. With beautiful names like these, you just can’t go wrong!
Recently, it’s becoming more popular that parents choose different spellings of their favorite names in order to keep these names prevalent for years to come. With that being said, there are some very interesting and bold girl’s names slowly climbing to the top over the past few years.
A few of these striking names include:
- Grace
- Harper
- Mia
- Zoey
Congratulations, it’s a Boy!
With previous years of popularity, strong names like Liam, Mason, and William, have quickly become a decreasing trend. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, these names have not made the cut for the past two years after becoming so popular in 2009.
It will be interesting to see whether or not they make a come-back or continue to fade out of style. Some exciting and diverse top trending boy’s names of 2017 include names such as
- Logan

However, some families are approaching names entirely different these days in hopes to start a new wave themselves. Whether or not you are searching for a unique or trendy name, 2017’s top trending names like Jack, Noah, or Luke are hard to beat.
Give yourself time to consider all of your options! No matter what you decide, know it will be the perfect name for your new family member.
