The Most Popular Baby Names of 2014 Are Sophia and Jackson

BabyCenter.com just released their lists of the most popular baby names for 2014. And maybe we've just been pounded into submission by the modern trendy names, but they don't induce the eye rolling they used to.
The top ten names for boys this year are: Jackson . . . Aiden . . . Liam . . . Lucas . . . Noah . . . Mason . . . Ethan . . . Caden . . . Jacob . . . and Logan. Jackson was also number one last year.

The top ten names for girls this year are Sophia . . . Emma . . . Olivia . . . Ava . . . Isabella . . . Mia . . . Zoe . . . Lily . . . Emily . . . and Madelyn. And Sophia has now been the top name for five years in a row.


What's interesting is that BabyCenter's list combines different spellings of the names . . . so people who spelled Jaxon with an "x" in the middle contribute to its popularity. Even though people who spell Jaxon with an "x" are also contributing to the downfall of society.


The boys names that didn't quite make the top 10 but still had huge jumps in popularity in 2014 are: Nolan . . . Dominic . . . and Muhammad. (???) The girls names that made the biggest jumps are Skyler . . . Caroline . . . and Callie.
The boys names that had the biggest drops in popularity are: Brayden . . . Chase . . . and Charlie. The girls names that had the biggest drops are: Lila . . . Sophie . . . and Julia.
