The Truth About Baby Name Popularity

In this episode, Colleen and Jessie dig into one of the most common baby-naming fears: Is my favorite name too popular to use? We break down what popularity actually means today, how current name trends are shaping classrooms, and why the “Top 10” doesn’t tell the whole story. We also dive into one of the biggest baby-naming movements of the 2020s — gender-neutral names — discussing what’s driving the trend, how parents are using these names, and what it could mean for the future. Plus, we answer a burning listener question: what criteria did we use when naming our own children? You’ll also hear our take on whether it’s harder to name girls or boys, and Jessie shares her hottest prediction yet about where baby names are headed next. If you’re naming a baby, obsessing over name charts, or just love talking trends, this episode is for you. Check out the amazing companies featured in this episode using the links below!
