Top Girl Names 2019

The most popular girl names on Nameberry this year are led once again by Olivia, also Number 1 last year. Olivia is a top name on official name popularity lists too, in the US, the UK, and a wide range of other countries.

Isla retains her place at Number 2 and Charlotte stands firm at Number 5; both names are also popular on the SSA list. Aurora moves up three spots to Number 3.

New to the girls’ Top 10 are Luna, Ada, Maeve, and Ophelia, all names we expect to become much more popular for baby girls over the coming year.

Top Boy Names 2019

Milo is the new king of popular boy names in a surprise upset. Milo unseated last year’s Number 1 Atticus, which slipped eight places to Number 9.

Nameberry favorite Asher moves up to Number 2. Archie rose a whopping 137 places to claim Number 3, but that dramatic move is due to the young prince and not (totally) to an increase in interest in the name.

Oliver is another newcomer to the boys’ Top 10, popularity that is reflected in official statistics. The only other new name in the top ranks is Aarav, though we suspect that’s because it’s the first name in many alphabet searches.

Beyond the Top 10, we see these boys’ names in the Top 100 as being particularly hot: Theo, Arlo, Jude, Atlas, Archer, Josiah, and Tobias.
