When soon-to-be parents are trying to come up with the perfect name for their upcoming bundle of joy, they may use books or ask friends and family for suggestions, but one place they all end up going for inspiration? Google, where else? And now the search engine is sharing the most-searched baby names of the year so far.
“What the list does represent is curiosity — names that intrigue us,” says baby name consultant Sherri Suzanne, adding that most-searched names don't always become the most popular names. “Many times, the searches are triggered by names in popular culture. For example, Athena likely became more interesting when Princess Beatrice of England named her daughter Athena this year. In an instant, a name in the news or entertainment can pique interest.”
- According to this expert, the list is loaded with vintage names that have become popular again this year, like Theodore, Sadie and Violet.
- The top two names on the list, Sutton and Theodore, “represent a modern trend toward surnames as first names,” Suzanne says.
