Texas Isn’t Following the Baby Name Trends
Olivia is the most popular baby name in America for girls right now, and it's Asher for boys.
But leave it to Texas to be a little independent about all that and resist the trends. It looks like we've got other baby naming ideas in mind.
The baby naming website, Nameberry, has come out with its list of the most popular baby names so far in 2017, and we see that there are a lot of traditional names making a comeback.
Hearing names like Clara, Adelaide, and Matilda makes us girls think we need to be putting on pioneer dresses and eating meals from the chuckwagon, but those are hot baby names right now, and will show up in kindergarten classes soon. For boys, traditional names like Henry, Harry, and Harrison are making a comeback.
The Today Show says these are some of the top baby names in America so far in 2017, according to Nameberry,
For GIRLS:
- Olivia

For BOYS:
