Revealed: the Top Names of 2023 So Far!

Led by some bold choices...

We’re halfway through the year (I know, how did that happen?!) so that can only mean one thing — for name lovers, anyway.

It’s the mid-year Nameberry charts!

These are the 100 boy and girl names that got the most views in the first half of 2023.

They’re topped by Luxury and Royal, bold word names that fascinate many, but if we’re honest, few of us are likely to actually use.

Just below them, there are many style-forward names, some traditional and others more recent in use, that thousands of people have been considering this year. Maeve and Matilda, Soren and Silas, Remy and Wren… we bet some of them are on your list too 😉

Now just for fun… can you guess what’s number 101?

Which names didn’t quite make the Top 100, and sit just below Clover and Luca? Guess a girl and boy name in the comments ⬇️ and the first people to guess each one correctly will get a shout-out and big name nerd points.

Clue: both names are used in several languages including English and Spanish, and are in the US Top 200.
