Whether or not 2020 yielded a baby boom remains to be seen for a few months, but if you happen to be one of the lucky parents expecting soon, we are here to offer some help with potential baby names. As much as we poke fun at some celebrities for their unique name choices (looking at you, Elon Musk and Grimes), famous people do have a knack for setting trends.
As we combed through the list of all the babies born to actors, musicians, athletes, reality-TV stars, and influencers this year, we found a lot of names to love. Here you’ll find the trendy “grandparent” names like Evelyn, Dolores, and Franklin. There are formerly common names — including David and Mary. Some have beautiful symbolic meanings, like River Phoenix (named after his late uncle), and others are pretty spelled out for us — i.e. Powerful Queen Cannon and Olympia Lightning Bolt.
There truly is a name here for every taste. And even if you’re not interested in naming your child Hendrix, it is mighty entertaining to see who did. Knowing these names makes us all the more curious about the monikers Gigi Hadid and Nicki Minaj are keeping hidden from us. In the meantime, we’ll enjoy these:
