Between all of the kids our little ones meet at school and the orders we take for our personalized growth charts and tshirts, we come across a wide range of names, everything from the classic to the most interesting. We’re fascinated by names and the stories, inspirations and meanings behind them, so we thought we’d share a few of the most popular names, as well as a couple of unique ones.
Jacob is the #1 name for boys in the US, so it’s no surprise we’ve had a large number of orders for Jacob/Jake in the past year.
We think that the Kardashian’s must have a big influence over baby names as the demand for décor and tees personalized with Mason and Chloe this last year has increased.
And in the non-traditional names category, we just loved the order for Fifi & JoJo, as well as Maximus. We doubt they’ll ever need to be called by their name plus last initial in class.
Some of the other top-selling names and a quick meaning of each (according to Babyzone.com) include:
EMMA – Of German origin, meaning complete, whole, universal
AVERY – Of English origin, meaning Elf ruler, implying leadership with supernatural wisdom
JOSEPH – Of Hebrew origin, meaning May God give increase
GRAYSON – Of English origin, meaning son of the reeve or Gray-haired; son of the Gray family; son of Gregory
AVA – Of Hebrew origin, meaning like a bird; also of Persian origin, meaning voice
NICHOLAS – Of Greek origin, meaning victorious
CAMERON – Of Celtic/Gaelic/Scottish origin, meaning crooked nose (really?!)
NATHAN – Of Hebrew origin, meaning gift from God
