The 100 most popular baby names of 2018 have been revealed, and although some classic names still remain popular, some quirky names are increasing in popularity.
Sophia and Jackson remained in the same place as last year, coming in as the number one girls and boys baby name for the past nine and six years respectively.
And while classic names still make up the top picks, names inspired by popular video game Fortnite, fruit, vegetables and the Kardashians have all risen in popularity this year.
The most popular baby names of 2018 compilation was put together by online pregnancy and parenting website Baby Center, which publishes the list annually.
Results are in! The 100 most popular baby names for 2018 have been ranked, and Sophia and Jackson remain the most common names for the ninth and sixth year respectively
The data was collected by asking a total of 742,000 parents what they named their baby in 2018.
Sophia was named as the most popular name for girls, while Jackson topped the list of monikers for the boys.
Joining Sophia in the top five girl’s names were Olivia, Emma, Ava and Isabella, while Liam, Noah, Aiden and Caden proved the most popular among newborn baby boys.
The top ten names for baby boys and girls saw two new additions this year, with Layla and Oliver creeping onto the list, pushing Zoe and Logan off.
Linda Murray, Baby Center’s global editor in chief said: ‘Sophia is the dominant girls’ name of the decade, with no signs of slowing down.’
She added: ‘It has worldwide appeal, it’s pronounceable in multiple languages, and it’s feminine and sophisticated all at once.
‘As for Jackson, it’s a modern twist on the old classic Jack.’
The online parenting and pregnancy destination also analyzed some common trends in baby names, and found that the Kardashian family has influenced a lot of baby names.
The name Stormi, which Kylie Jenner named her daughter, rose by 63 per cent this year, whereas Dream, the name of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s child, rose by 42 per cent.
Similarly, Saint and Reign, namees given to Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney Kardashian’s children, rose by 42 per cent and 27 per cent respectively.
And people aren’t just inspired by the clan’s baby names, Kim and Kanye also rose in popularity this year, with Kim jumping up by 19 per cent, and Kanye by 22 per cent.
Another trend that Baby Center spotted was food-inspired names.
Kale (up 35 per cent), Kiwi (up 40 per cent), Maple (up 32 per cent) and Clementine (up 15 per cent) had all increased in popularity this year.
And although Kale might be most widely recognized as an addition to a salad, the name is German-derived and means ‘free man’, according to Baby Center.
Similarly Clementine holds more meaning than its sole purpose as a food. The name is originally Latin, and means merciful.
