Girl #1: Emma

We feel like people who loved Beauty and the Beast but didn’t want to name their kid Belle paid homage with Emma instead. Bonus points if you’re a Harry Potter fan.

Boy #1: Liam

He’s not our favorite Hemsworth brother, but we do love the name.

Girl #2: Olivia

Olivia is classic and beautiful. So many nickname possibilities, too! Not surprised to see this one so high on the list.

Boy #2: Noah

Biblical names are always popular. But we can’t help but think the love of Stranger Things might have had some influence with this one.

Girl #3: Ava

Ana DuVernay is at the forefront of women of color in entertainment, so we imagine a lot of badass little Ava’s are going to follow suit.

Boy #3: Lucas

Is it a coincidence that Lucas jumps up to the #3 spot when George Lucas’ franchise is hotter than ever? We think not.

Girl #4: Isabella

Timeless and beautiful, just like our most favorite Isabella.

Boy #4: Logan

We absolutely love the name Logan, we’re so glad it landed high on the list.

Girl #5: Sophia

True story: my oldest daughter wanted to name her baby sister Sophia, after Sophia Grace and Rosie.

Boy #5: Mason

Mason Cook is on one of our favorite shows, and he has one of our favorite names.

So there you have it! The top five on both sides are pretty much perfect. Did your little one’s name make the list? Picking a name is hard, hopefully you find some inspiration here!
