The most popular girls and boys’ names of 2015 are….

One thing that has changed quite a lot since we were born and our children were born is baby names. Many years ago the most popular names were Karen and Sharon, John and Peter, Emma and Kate or Daniel and Liam. Nowadays parents are choosing more modern names… or are they?

The top 100 list of boys and girls‘ names for 2015 has been released by Nameberry and we have to say: there are some surprises.

Rather that go for quirky names, it seems parents have stayed with classics and biblical names: the top girls’ name for 2015 is Charlotte and the top boys’ name is Ezra.

Closely followed by pretty classics Amelia and Ava for the girls, the boys had some more interesting top choices: Asher and Atticus, the latter being a main character in ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’!

Take a look at the top 100 lists of both the girls and boys and tell us: which are your favourite names? What are your grandchildren’s names?
