Using data from more than 742,000 site users who had babies in the past year, Baby Center has once again announced the top baby names of the year. The most popular names for 2018 show few changes from previous years. The top names for girls are:
1. Sophia
2. Olivia
3. Emma
4. Ava
5. Isabella
6. Aria
7. Riley
8. Amelia
9. Mia
10. Layla
Sophia (and Sofia) have been at the top of their list for nine years now. Layla is new to the top ten, almost 50 years after the song was first heard. The top names for boys are:
1. Jackson
2. Liam
3. Noah
4. Aiden
5. Caden
6. Grayson
7. Lucas
8. Mason
9. Oliver
10. Elijah
Teachers are already used to student lists that read Aiden, Caden, Jaden, Bradon, Grayson, Mason, etc. See the list of the top 100 baby names for girls and for boys, where you can click on a name and learn how it's been trending. But even more interesting is a look at the names that are rising on the list, meaning the ones that are trendy. People are naming their children after food, characters in Fortnight, and the Kardashian babies. -via Buzzfeed

In my kindergarten class there were 4 Patricias. Later on in my early teaching career, Debbie was common. In 1939 the top male baby name was James, BTW, my first name.
