choosing a name for your newborn
is no easy feat. Some parents are set up with family names they’ll pass down to their children and
wouldn’t dream of choosing anything different, while others are all about giving their kids a
unique name
that will stand out for years to come.
Every year,
new baby names
emerge as fresh alternatives to classics like
James
or
Elizabeth
— or trendy names like
Henry
or
Mila
. Of course, unless you’re completely making a name up from scratch, most names have been used
somewhere
before. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get ahead of the trend by using a new-ish name that’s only
recently become more widely used.
If you’re on the hunt for a new name for your baby girl or baby boy, here are boy and girl names
that are still super fresh in 2020.
Newly-popular-in-2020 baby names
According to
data from the Social Security Administration
, the following names have recently climbed to the United State’s Top 100 list in the last 10
years, meaning while you may meet someone with the same name, it’s a lot less likely than running
into a Kate or a Mike.
