Names on actual babies you’ve heard!

I’m genuinely curious what baby names you’ve heard/seen/know bestowed on babies of late (within the last year or so)! The naming trends are so neat to me and I’m also curious what seems popular in what parts of the US and abroad!

The names I’ve heard of late are here (for reference I’m from the Midwest of the US) below:

Girls:
Cora
Rainey
Luna
Vivee
Olivia
Reese
Blakely

Boys:
Sutton
Jaxon
Rowdy
Gabriel
Henry
