Charlotte was the No. 1 girls' name for all of 2015, buoyed by the naming of England's baby princess, and it also ruled the Nameberry charts for several previous years. Emma was the No. 1 girls' baby name in the U.S. for 2014, the most recent year counted by the Social Security administration.
The most popular boys' name so far in 2016 is the Biblical Ezra, which also ruled Nameberry's 2015 list. In fact, the first seven names on the boys' Top 10 are identical to the full year 2015 results. There are only two new entrants to the boys' Top 10, with Levi and Wyatt replacing Jude and Jasper.
In the girls' Top 10 for 2016, there are three new A-starting names: Arabella, Aurora, and Adeline, taking over from Cora, Lucy, and Evelyn.
