The Social Security Administration released their list of Top 10 Baby Names of 2024!
🥁...
I'm VERY surprised! 🤯 Most of the names are classic or "safe."🥱 At the least, I was expecting one odd-one-out name. 😤
These names are in fact popular, I've met/known thus far in my life: (1) ✔Noah, (3 or 4) ✔Jameses, (1) ✔Elijah, (1) ✔William, (1) ✔Mia, (2) ✔Evelyns and (1) ✔Sophia or ✔Sofia (I don't remember the spelling).
If I had to choose one name from male and female sides as my favorite: I'd pick James (because I love all things James Bond) or Noah (because of its Biblical significance. Btw James and Elijah are Biblical names too.) and Mia or Olivia (Mia sounds cute and Olivia sounds sophisticated). 🤷🏾♀️
We're in 2025 and there's not one shocking or interesting name on the list? 🤨 I'm very disappointed. 🙁 Where is the creativity and originality? 🧐 I guess that's left mostly for celebrity parents. 😏
I wonder in ⏩2035 how will the list look? 🤔 Will it be similar? 😒 By then I'd love to see at least one uncommon, out-of-the-box name, for each side make it 🤞🏾 and I'd be happy with that. 😀
