The 2013 top baby names for boys and girls have been released and it shows parents are choosing more traditional names as opposed to fancy, celeb-trendy names.
The parenting and pregnancy website babycenter.com compiled the list from the more than 500,000 babies born to moms on their site.
For girls, the top ten included names like Sophia, Emma, Olivia, Isabella, and Mia.
According to the survey, 80 percent of parents finalized their name decision before the child's birth.
"We saw a marked change this year," says Linda Murray, global editor in chief of the pregnancy and parenting website BabyCenter.com..Parents "want a name that feels important to them. Looking back into your own family tree is a way to find a person meaningful to you. We see the search for meaning in this generation really starting to show up in the baby-naming ranks."
New names in the top 100 are Caden, Jayce and Muhammad for boys; among girls, Lila, Adalyn, Alaina, Liliana and Keira.
