The Social Security Administration has released their official list of most popular baby names for 2018 and not surprisingly Harry and Meghan’s royal love story has had an effect on the increasing popularity of one name in particular.
Meghan, spelled exactly how Meghan Markle spells her name, jumped an astonishing 701 spots from 1,404 in 2017 to number 701 in 2018. Although ‘Meghan’ didn’t make the top ten list for 2018 observers note it will be interesting to see Markle’s effect on what new parents name their babies for 2019 and if we will possibly see an increase in little boys named Archie.
The top ten girls names for 2018:
1. Emma 2. Olivia 3. Ava 4. Isabella 5. Sophia 6. Charlotte 7. Mia 8. Amelia 9. Harper 10. Evelyn
1. Liam 2. Noah 3. William 4. James 5. Oliver 6. Benjamin 7. Elijah 8. Lucas 9. Mason 10. Logan
