What boy name, girl name, or gender neutral name do you think will become popular this year? All suggestions are welcome! [name_m]Just[/name_m] want to hear everyone’s ideas and opinion.
Ophelia and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. I was just saying a few weeks ago I suspect a rise in names featured in songs as [name_f]Gen[/name_f] Z begins to name their children - [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] very clearly fitting in this category! So perhaps they won’t grow INSANELY in 2021, but I think they’ll definitely rise in popularity this year, and even more in the next 5-10 years.
I suspect [name_u]Luca[/name_u] will rise higher (for boys). I feel like I’m meeting so many [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] lately, after never hearing the name at all 5+ years ago. I think [name_u]Connor[/name_u] may get higher again as well. I know a lot of teens (13-20) named [name_u]Connor[/name_u], but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a rise in baby Connors.
My predictions are always the same, lol – I think multicultural, international-sounding baby names will see a rise, especially in the US – things like Elio, [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_m]Thiago[/name_m], [name_f]Alessia[/name_f], [name_m]Kaito[/name_m], and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]. They’re cool and easy to pronounce in many languages. They remind me of already-popular names like [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Mateo[/name_m], and [name_u]Kai[/name_u], but they aren’t in the top 100 currently.
I feel like [name_u]Remy[/name_u] (for boys) is starting to rise in popularity here in Australia. I’m hearing it quite a bit of late. Also, [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_u]Rio[/name_u] (lots of R names!). Oh, and August.
I’m also curious to see if [name_f]Margot[/name_f] will be on the 2020 top 100 list here. I definitely feel I’m hearing it more and more.
Boys
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
Possibly [name_u]Elias[/name_u] (hope not as I want to use the name )
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] ( for sure)
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
My younger brother [name_u]Connor[/name_u] was born during the name’s first popularity spike. I am at the age now where pretty much all my peers have kids–I hope to join that club soon–and I have definitely considered naming a son after my brother.
I’d love to see [name_u]Connor[/name_u] climb again so it shakes off any kind of slightly dated feel it may be getting.
Kieran! With the popularity of other similarly-sounding Celtic names like [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u], I can definitely see [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] going a lot further up the charts.
Everly. I think it’s going to move up a lot. I think it could be number one in a few years, and rarer sound-alike names ([name_m]Everson[/name_m], [name_m]Everton[/name_m], [name_u]Ever[/name_u], etc.) and variant spellings will grow in popularity too. I also think this is [name_f]Florence[/name_f]’s year for some reason.
