Top baby name trends of 2023: Royal and Luxury lead the way

The midyear report on the most popular baby names has arrived!

After tracking name trends on their site for the first half of the year, Nameberry has identified Royal and Luxury as the top names for boys and girls, respectively, based on website views.

The midyear report also reveals trends such as shorter names like Iris, Cora, and Jude, storybook choices including Alice, Eloise, and Kai, and a Greek influence with names like Persephone, Calliope, Cassius, and Orion.

Mythological and ancient names such as Maeve, Aurelia, Aurora, Luna, Felix, and Atticus are popular, along with O-ending names for boys like Hugo and Arlo.

Upscale word names, including Aire inspired by Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott‘s baby, and names from different cultures are also gaining traction among parents.
