First, we brought you baby names with fantastic nicknames and uncommon baby names to help your kid stand out from the crowd. Then we traveled abroad to share our favorite Swedish, British, Italian and Spanish monikers. Heck, we even divulged some quarantine-inspired baby names (come on, how cute is Nessa?). And now, in honor of PureWow’s 10th anniversary, we’re sharing the most popular baby names of the last decade, per the Social Security Administration.
So what are some of the baby-naming trends from the last ten years? Royal monikers are definitely in vogue (like William, Charles, Camila and Elizabeth) and two-syllable names rule the roost (54 percent of the top 100 names have just two syllables). And while many of the picks are totally timeless, there are quite a few contemporary names in the mix (think: Alexa or Brooklyn). So, whether you want to compare notes on the kid you already have or draw inspo for the one on the way, look no further. Here are the trendiest names of the last decade.
