These Will Be the Most Popular Baby Names in 2019

What are the most popular baby names in 2019? Between the Social Security Administration's newly-released 2018 data and both Nameberry and BabyCenter's 2019 predictions, we have a pretty good sense of what's on trend this year. It's no surprise that picks like Emma and Liam reign supreme, though other names — such as nicknames from the 20th century and picks inspired by royalty — are on the rise. Even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle picked one of the top 2019 trends for their son, Archie.

The Current Top Names for Girls

Every year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) releases a list of the most popular baby names from the previous year, and the numbers are out for 2018. These were the top ten names for girls:

1. Emma
2. Olivia
3. Ava
4. Isabella 
5. Sophia
6. Charlotte
7. Mia
8. Amelia
9. Harper
10. Evelyn

Of those, only Harper is new to the top 10, replacing the name Abigail, which fell out of the tenth spot. It's clear that, right now, we're really feeling those names that end in "a" — and we have been for a while, so there's a good chance these names will stay popular into next year.
