And as for what's yet to come? Here are a few baby name trends that are likely to boom this year.
Scandinavian Names
There's more to admire from the lands up north than just ABBA and Ikea. A famous Scandinavian noble baby name Magnus has been surging in popularity for the past several years. But there are still a few other exciting names on the climb, like Bjorn, Freya, and most especially, Astrid - given that it's one of the character names in the new Netflix show, The Politician.
Gender-Neutral Baby Names
Are you one of those parents arguing over two sets of baby names? Why go through all the struggle if you can resolve on one perfect set? Nowadays, more and more names can go for both boys and girls, as proved by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds with their daughter James, as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis with their daughter Wyatt. Among the names that are uber popular for both sexes, you'll discover Cameron, Emerson, Nova, Parker, Sage, and Noa.
Vintage baby names
Just like fashion, baby names surely make a comeback real quick. I bet, the names Jennifer, Lisa, and Ashley will get back into vogue in no time. Amongst the smoking hot baby names for 2020, you'll find the name Nancy and Maxine booming, and yes, many parents are probably inspired by the tough chicks on Stranger Things or the Congresswomen. And the name Archie is totally going to fly even more on the lists, as names Meghan and Harry have taken the name into highlight. And talking about Meghan, her name will probably remain to be hot for girls - even though it previously listed high back in the 80s.
Pop culture
All the parents out there who named their daughters Daenerys or Khaleesi may advise you to think twice about picking a name from the trend, but many parents get baby name inspiration from their favorite shows, movies, and books. The fame of the Mother of Dragons (and also the names influenced by it) may have faded, but names like Brienne, Tyrion, Snow, and Arya still get a hit from Game of Thrones fans.
