"For boys, we've been moving away from the patrilineal traditionally masculine names for at least a generation, though James and William are hanging on tight and Henry is even rising through the ranks," says Pamela Redmond, CEO of Nameberry, a baby-naming site that ke...

Both Nameberry and BabyCenter, which also keeps track of the baby names its users pick, have found an uptick in names that feel at home in the wilderness, like Forest (or Forrest), River, Everest, Ocean, Reef and Woods.

They all named their sons Wolf, though often it was a middle name (and Jenner changed her son's name to Aire). And Wolf isn't the only animal in the pack.

It seems like maximalists really like the going to the Max!
A name that just squeaked onto the SSA list? Neo, a moniker familiar to any fan of The Matrix movies. It moved up just a tad in rank this year, from No. 979 to No. 947. (Keanuhas been bouncing on and off the list since the year 2000, but it's been a steady presence since 2016, this year at No. 592.) Star Wars fans have also claimed spots on the lis...

If you're looking for an unusual name, these are some to consider: Arnold, Bernard, Cecil, Chester, Clarence, Clifford, Dale, Earl, Glenn, Lester, Lloyd, Milton, Norman, ...
There's been a rise in unisex and gender-neutral names for a while now, and the trend shows no signs of stopping. But both Nameberry and BabyCenter also see that parents don't care if a name is traditionally a boys' name, a unisex name or girl's name. If they like it, they're going for it. BabyCenter has seen names like Tatum, Finley and Eden — usu...

- Girl Names for Boys. For generations, names have moved in a single direction: from boy to girl. Parents adopted traditionally masculine names for girls as a way to empower their daughters.
- Feminine Feminist Names. The Barbie phenomenon has taken over the world, including the world of baby names. The film sparked international conversations about gender and feminism, and the press jumped on stories about how Barbie will impact tomorrow's baby names.
- Baby Men and Women. This popular refrain sprung up on social media in 2023: "You're naming an adult, not a baby". At face value, the sentiment is neutral, but in practice, it is used to criticize parents who choose unconventional or "babyish" names for their children.
- Atmospheric Names. Airy, sky-bound names will fly high in 2024. Names that evoke the open sky, like Aura, Cielo, and of course, Kylie Jenner's baby name, Aire, are poised to soar in the coming year.
