New Baby Name Data Surprises 🙊
Anyone else relieved that August escaped the Top 100? 🙋♀️
It’s been a busy week here at Nameberry HQ — analyzing data, writing about the latest trends, and responding to messages like this, from friends and followers alike:
August is safe (for now) at Number 104, but if I know you Berries, you’re already looking for the next cool unusual name — something rare and stylish, but not oversaturated.
We updated our collections of the 100 Best Names for Girls Below the Top 1000 and the 100 Best Names for Boys Below the Top 1000, which are rife with inspiration for anyone lamenting that August (or Lottie or Cillian or Calliope) is just too popular these days.
Instead of August: Auden, Emrys, Harris
Instead of Lottie: Betty, Lula, Posie
Instead of Cillian: Cormac, Dashiell, Finnian
Instead of Calliope: Andromeda, Calla, Cecily
