Name That Baby

May 12, 2008; 5:15 am by UrbanBaby

Judging by the crowds at pre-natal yoga, last year was a spiritual one. You may even run into a Serenity or Sincere on the playground soon.

Both monikers made the list of the top baby names of 2007, which was recently released by The Social Security Administration. Jacob and Emily held the top spots yet again, and the top 10 goes as follows:

Boys: Jacob, Michael, Ethan, Joshua, Daniel, Christopher, Anthony, William, Matthew, Andrew

Girls: Emily, Isabella, Emma, Ava, Madison, Sophia, Olivia, Abigail, Hannah, Elizabeth

In the paparazzi-infused year, Shiloh, Maddox and Jayden are celeb baby names that made the list, while stars of 2007 Danica Patrick and Miley Cyrus (pre-scandal) influenced a fair share of infants. Perhaps the most surprising entry? Armani.

Now, off to feed baby Cavalli and his sister Tuleh.

Comments

  1. Interesting.

  2. Funnily enough, my husband Matthew was signing into an appointment the other day and the receptionist says to him, “Matthew. Now that’s a name you don’t hear much anymore!” What??? And no, she wasn’t joking.

  3. Who in their right mind would name their kid Miley Cyrus??? That really has to be a joke.

  4. probably just her first name…Miley.
    Jacob and Emily…ONCE AGAIN!

  5. ARMANI ROFL

  6. Who cares?

  7. Hmm, so biblical names are still in for guys?

  8. I’ll add in some more names

    Boys - Jermain, Devante, Dalvin, Lems, Lawrence.
    Girls - Nina, Sheila, Stella, Faith, Kelly.

  9. Miley isn’t even her real name; it just a nickname.

  10. Hi webmaster!

  11. who the hell names their kid ethan? or ava? Ive never heard that name in my life.

  12. LOL….I know about 4 ethans and one Ava….

  13. i need a pretty boy name right away do anyone have any good ideas if so please let me know ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. how about Random for a boys name.

  15. There’re people in China who name themselves Thunder at the age of 20+.

    Now that’s unique. Or you could try Cream Puffs.

  16. Ironically my father’s first and middle names are Ethan Michael. Mine are Joshua Ethan. So I guess I’ll have to name my son Daniel.

  17. At least this year, parents are giving their children real names. I feel sorry for the little girls named Abigail though(even more so for any GUYS with that name). Abigail is one of those names given just for the purpose of the shortened name. The parents may as well have written Abby on the birth certificate.

  18. No John’s on there? =[

  19. name your child beautiful old names your child can be proud of, names that never go out of style. irish names remain forever cool. how about rosalie or liam or connor or james or allison or natalie or spencer. all brilliant names. :)

  20. my granddad was a john. john is good. john is a bit dull drum tho.

  21. hey, speaking of names…do any of you know the biblical name of the God who created the earth, people, the universe? look in your bible at psalms 83:18, it sais: “you whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high”. Jehovah means “he causes to become”. all of you who are thinking of names for your children, please stop and remember what a prescious gift they are from our creator, Jehovah. have fun finding your child’s name, it will be beautiful, because you picked it. :)

  22. are you one of the “FRIENDS” I find your comment very curios, not everyone speaks that way?
