00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to this edition of Amy and TJ. And

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: for parents out there or soon to be parents out there,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: the name you give your child is probably one of

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: the most important decisions you make in your life. Wouldn't

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: you say? How much time did you spend coming up

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: with Sabine's name?

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Really? I have a I could probably find the file

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: somewhere in front of me and computer. But I had

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: a full list of boy game names, girl names. Had

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: mostly girl names. Struggled with boy names, but I had

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: a lot of them. He was almost an Adele.

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Almost Adele or Ripley, Ripley, believe it or not.

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: Ripley Holmes. You see Sabine now was.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Ripley Sherlock is her middle name.

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Adele Holmes.

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: That's like, that's that's a weak direction to go, Like,

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: that's just an old It's not even Fanny, it's lazy Robes,

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: It's lazy.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: What did you do? How did you go about trying

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: to find the name?

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: Every time I heard one, I like to wrot it down. Period.

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: That's it. She's named now after a German tennis player

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: because I was watching a match and her name is

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Sabine Lichitski. I believe is what her name is. And

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: she even tweeted me back one time because I said, yeah,

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: there's her namesake playing, and she was like, what the hell.

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so funny.

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: Mean is named after a German tennis player.

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Period, so it's funny. I actually knew I wanted to

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: give both of my children, who ended up both being girls, obviously,

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: German names because I knew they were going to get

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: their dad's last name, which was Scottish, and I thought

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: that was a way for me to bring my heritage

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: into them. So I looked for German names, and that's

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: how I came up with Ava and Analyse. But I

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: went online and I was searching, oh yeah, girl German names,

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: trying to find or get some sort of inspiration.

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh wow, No, not to think about googling a kid's name.

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking for some ideas for this child. I'm caring.

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Let me go to the internet.

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Google was around though, actually twenty two

42
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, twenty yeah, I have to go check

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: that out. I don't know how I did, but I

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: was like looking up. I was buying books, baby name books,

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that kind of a thing. But there is a resource

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that has been around since after Eva was born in

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. Baby Center has been publishing Top

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Baby Names Now for more than twenty years, and you

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: can go into the Social Security Administration. They have a

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: list of names that come out every year as well.

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: What I'm using What the Hottest Baby Names Now? Baby

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Center claims they have a jump on Social Security Administration

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: because of the way their algorithm works and how they

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: formulate what names are popular. They say there's is in

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: real time and is accurate. So anyway, they have and

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: they've just released the Hottest baby Names of twenty twenty five,

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: the number one girl name and the number one boy name.

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Can you guess what they are?

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't remember from last year, but

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: they were in the top three from last year.

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I would assume, Well, here's a hint.

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: Was Liam in there? Was it? I'm trying to think

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 2: of the girls name. Yeah, we just did this, so yeah,

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: they've been the same name in the past three years,

65
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: have been rotating in the top three to five.

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so the most popular baby name for both boys

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: and girls stayed exactly the same as last year. Olivia

68
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: is the number one girl's name and Noah remains the

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: number one boy's name. But there have been some shakeups

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: in the top ten, and there have been some really

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: interesting trends in the top one hundred names. I actually

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: found this so fascinating. But some familiar names got booted

73
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: out of the top ten list. On the girls side,

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Bye bye Ava and bye Luna booted out of what

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the top ten top ten girl's name. Ava is no

76
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: longer she's number eleven now, and Luna is out of

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the top ten. On the boy's side, Luca got pushed

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: out of the top ten.

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: It's about time. I love yo. Luca's out there now.

80
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Here's some really interesting trends and we'll get into why

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Baby Center believes some of these names are now coming

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: into popularity. But there are seven brand new girls' names

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: that have made the top one hundred lists. I want

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: to get your take on them. Eloise Oakland, Emerson, Sienna, Catalina, Juniper,

85
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: and Kialani.

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: I know all but a Juniper. I have at some

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: point come across somebody. Everybody but a Juniper. So yeah,

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: you said Juniper.

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know anyone named any of those names.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: That's amazing, all right, and then introduced after falling out

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: of the top one hundred names in nineteen forty three.

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Josephine is back in the top one hundred for the

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: first time this century, and Vivian last appeared in the

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: top one hundred and nineteen thirty four, and she's back,

95
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: coming in at number ninety nine. So some older names

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: that were once popular way back when are now coming

97
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: back into which we see happen all the time. But

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: we did lose some girls' names out of the top

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: one hundred, and among them this was interesting Anna out

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: of the top one hundred. That's wild because Anna Liise

101
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: she goes by Anna is like Anna number five and

102
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: all of her classes. So hopefully for future Anna's they

103
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: won't be so common. There are three new boys' names,

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: and one of them really stood out to me because

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: we've actually used this name a lot because we love

106
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: horror movies. Malachi is now a new boy's name in

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: the top one hundred. Ali, I guess it's Ali's at

108
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: how you would say it, Ali and Arthur. So there

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: are three new boys names in the top one hundred,

110
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: and Nathaniel is rejoining the top one hundred after it

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: fell out in twenty sixteen. I'm actually surprised Nathaniel fell

112
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: out of the top one hundred. I know so many

113
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Nathaniels and Nates.

114
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: Don't know one. I don't personally know a single Nathaniel, really,

115
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: not a one. I'm trying to.

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Go in Nates. You know Nates.

117
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: By extension, but I don't know any personally.

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: No, this is some very popular names boys' names that

119
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: fell out of the top one hundred. Max fell out

120
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: of the top one hundred boys' names. That surprises me.

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: I feel like, do you know any Maxes? I know

122
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: tons of Maxes.

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: I do not know tons that we hang around different people.

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: You mean black people versus white people.

125
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say that, but.

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: All right, So here are some cool reasons or trends

127
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: behind some of these new baby names for twenty twenty five.

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: What's been popular? And they say, because you now have

129
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: your first generation beta is what they said. Parents now

130
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: they are more influenced by pop culture, TikTok television shows,

131
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: even reading old literary classics, and certainly sporting events, so

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: in a way that they've seen more than in generations past.

133
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: This newer crop of young parents are being influenced by

134
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: pop culture in a way they haven't seen before.

135
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: So that means they just naming people whatever they see

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: on TV. And in this show, yes, yes, and so

137
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: you said the litter everything. How's that applied to this?

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: People were reading books for whatever reason, they're more inclined,

139
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: that's what they're they're they're they're connecting the dots because

140
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: they're seeing names shoot up like eighty percent or you know,

141
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: there's just been a trend in that direction. So Helena

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: is a new name that's now like surging. They say

143
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: that's from Severance? Is it? Samira? Heather and Cassie from

144
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: the Pit. Those names have all skyrocketed this year. Belinda, Chelsea,

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: and Valentine Valentine from the White Lotus and then this

146
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: one you will get Isabelle and Conrad from the Summer

147
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: I turned pretty. They said, Isabelle has surge.

148
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Where's the surge?

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Well, just like I could go back and look at

150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: each of these, but they jumped up like like double

151
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: digits in percentage, so enough where it was a trend

152
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: that was worth noting.

153
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if all of those kids name Isabelle are

154
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: going to be.

155
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: Called belly, Well, I would insist that if that were

156
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: the case for me or my daughter I was please, please.

157
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Let's not do that forgetting it? Now, what are the

158
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: other like? That's a terrible nickname. I think jer Bear. No,

159
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Jeremiah calls her something that we hate, bell bell bell.

160
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: He just puts an S on it. And then Conrad

161
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: they call him Connie, which I can't stand.

162
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: I kind of like Connie Connie. All right, all right, anyway.

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: They also said names of NBA champions are now on

164
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: the rise. Jalen spelled j a l i N or

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: j y l i n both like surging. Isaiah and

166
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: Dylan all rose in popularity this year.

167
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: Based on why because they like Jalen Brown from the Celtics.

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: This is what they're saying. I'm just telling you. So

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: that was of note. And then they said the names

170
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: of w NBA stars Courtney Kelsey and Natasha have also

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: jumped up pretty dramatically in the list of.

172
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: The top one.

173
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Elder Angel, I know, you think that if they were

174
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: really actually basing it off of the popularity of w

175
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: NBA st those would be the two that you would

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: see the most. Right Here were the books that they referenced,

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: those classic literary influences. They said, Sawyer and Finn have

178
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: surged this year, and so they're attributing that to the

179
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

180
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: Careful what you named the kids? Out? Are those books?

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: All right?

182
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: They also are looking at The Great Gatsby. They say,

183
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: j Daisy, Buchanan, and Baker are all up on the

184
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: top one hundred.

185
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: People as well.

186
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Do I know people named those? I know, Jay, I

187
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: don't know anyone named Daisy, Buchanan or Baker. How about you?

188
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: No, you do that?

189
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: How about Holden from the Catcher and the Rye. That's

190
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: another one that's popped up. All right, So we will

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: go over the top ten most popular girl names for

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five according to Baby Center. Number one we

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: already mentioned is Olivia. Number two. This one surprised me

194
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: a little. Amelia.

195
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: M yeah, I'm trying to I'm actually thinking about last

196
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: year's list and where some of these ranked. Yes, that

197
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: sounds familiar.

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Yes, that's too many. Was one of Sabine's friends from

199
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: last year, right, Amelia. Sophia not surprised?

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: What does a Sophia and Sofia? Are they both in

201
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: the top ten? Uh?

202
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Nope, just Sophia.

203
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: Okay? Then Sophia is close by.

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: So Olivia Amelia, Sofia. Number four is Emma. We both

205
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: know are Emma. Number five Isabella. There we go with belly.

206
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: Number six Charlotte, and they say Charlie has been a

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: popular nickname. Number seven Ellianna Eleana, Ellianna e l I

208
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: A n A Ellianna. I'm actually surprised by that. I

209
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: don't know anyone named Eleiana. And right after Elliana is

210
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: Ellie at number eight, which I've definitely heard. Number nine Aurora. Really,

211
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: it's so interesting. I guess I don't hang out with

212
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: young parents anymore because I don't know anyone named Aurora.

213
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: And then the last number ten is Mia, which obviously

214
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: has been a popular name for quite some time. All Right,

215
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: the top ten most popular boys' names for twenty twenty five.

216
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: We mentioned number one, Noah, number two. You mentioned this Liam, Yes,

217
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: always always a popular boy's name.

218
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: Wait, what was number one again?

219
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: Noah?

220
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: Noah is Oliver in the top ten.

221
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: You just named number three.

222
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: Damn it, I should know these Man number.

00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: number eight, Ezra, number nine, Asher and number ten Luca.

225
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: That was the new one that was introduced in the

226
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: top ten. And in addition to all of those popular

227
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: names the top ten, there are names that Baby Center

228
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: has listened as no longer popular as completely on the

229
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: outs will tell you what those names are and why

230
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: when we come back. Also just the bottom line as

231
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to why these trends are happening and what they see

232
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six and how parents will start or

233
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: continue to choose their baby's names. Continuing our conversation about

234
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the hottest top ten, top one hundred baby names of

235
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, So we got the list of names

236
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: that are surging in popularity and perhaps even why. But

237
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: there are names that Baby Center. Two of them in particular,

238
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: have singled out as no longer popular.

239
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: Michael Helpe, George Help, Henry.

240
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: You're just naming like basic names that we're used to

241
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: hearing and seeing. Actually, I Royal family.

242
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: No, you know what. I've done this story at GMA

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: before and I had to tell George, George de monopolism,

244
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: Michael Strahan how their names have dropped on the list.

245
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, Okay, that makes sense, all right. Let

246
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: me see if you can guess why this name is

247
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: now no longer popular, and I can tell you how

248
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: far it dropped. Blake Blake. Blake is down eighty five

249
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: spots in one year.

250
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: This is a terrible name. I'm kidding at obviously, I'm joking.

251
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: Everybody stop, all right.

252
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: The other name that dropped twenty four spots was Justin

253
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: Are you seeing? Are you seeing a theme?

254
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: Blake and Justin? No?

255
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, baby sitter says after a year of headline

256
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: drama from Blake Lively and Justin Valdini, babysitter says, parents

257
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: are a steering clear of any name caught in a scandal.

258
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: Blake Shelton, Justin Bieber, those two you name never even.

259
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Crossed my mind that it was Blake Lively and Justin Valdeen.

260
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: I have checked out on that store. You and I

261
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: are very much immersed in news every day and so

262
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: sick of seeing those headlines about whatever all that legal

263
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: drama is to where I have tuned it out.

264
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: We avoided writing or talking about it on Morning Run

265
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: forever until we had to. In fact, when his lawsuit

266
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: just got thrown out, I don't even think we mentioned

267
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: it on Morning Run.

268
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: We did mention it to each other as we were

269
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: preparing Moran.

270
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: But we both read it. We're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

271
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: Here's another trend of names that are no longer popular,

272
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: boys names that end in a Y.

273
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of boys Tommy else, I'm trying

274
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: to think of boys names end and why.

275
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: They gave some examples of names that are no longer

276
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: fashionable or.

277
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: In Vinnie Vinnie, it's Vincent anyway, my name is a kid, Vinnie.

278
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: The other name boy's name ending in a why that's out?

279
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Grady Grady, Grady College of Journalism is all I can

280
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: think of from the University of Georgia.

281
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Grady Medical Center and yet Atlanta.

282
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Okay, so Grady is out, Murphy

283
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: with the Y is out, and Cody with the Y

284
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,359
Speaker 1: is out.

285
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Cody, what was the one before Cody Murphy? Okay, I

286
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: don't know any Murphy's I just know Murphy's Law, not

287
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of codies.

288
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: You do know a bunch of codies?

289
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm like a bunch of codies.

290
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Well, you weren't going to know many more going forward,

291
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: at least any that's going to be worn anytime soon. Anyway,

292
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: But they say that the baby naming process has gotten

293
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot more creative than it used to be, and

294
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot more places to look for inspiration

295
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: to choose from. When you look at anything that's popularized

296
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: on TikTok. We're not as immersed in social media, but

297
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: they say it is a huge source of creative inspiration

298
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: for parents now these days. But at the same time,

299
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: they say they stick to long held rules. If a

300
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: name is embroilering controversy, period, it will drop from the

301
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: spotlight a minute.

302
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: Who sticks to rules?

303
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: What do you say in parents like, it doesn't matter

304
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: generation to generation. The rules still apply. Basically, they've gotten

305
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: more creative. There are more sources, there are more outlets,

306
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: more reasons why. But typically you you know, when you

307
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: were coming up with a baby name, you would say,

308
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: like someone would say a name, and if you knew

309
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: a kid in school who you didn't like, or it

310
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: somehow elicited a negative reaction, even if it's a beautiful name,

311
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: you're like, nope, it's off the list, cannot.

312
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: So Adolph's kind of fell off in the nineteen thirties.

313
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: Correct, I don't know anyone named Adolph, Thank you. Now.

314
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: I've always been interested by the name Damien, just again

315
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: because of our horror movie Love. I always think about

316
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: some like Malachi is another one that's from Children of

317
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: the Corn. So when I hear Malachi, Damien, the one

318
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: that's the Redheads, Malachi, I.

319
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Can never remember the main guy, but we know Malachi the.

320
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: Hell out of me exactly. So if I know someone

321
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: named Malachi or Damien, I immediately think of the devil and.

322
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: Why we don't know anybody by those names. We don't

323
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: hang out with anybody.

324
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: Malachi is on the list, now.

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're not gonna be hanging out with, not

326
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: babysitting a kid named Malachi.

327
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Is there a name that you would absolutely.

328
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: Damien and Malachi? Yes.

329
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a female name that's like

330
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: a has a negative connotation or a sinister connotation. Carrie,

331
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: But then you've got Carrie, You've got so many other

332
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: carries that are just wonderful that it kind of off sets.

333
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I guess Karen would be a name that I would

334
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: never want to name a young girl now given its

335
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: current connotation.

336
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: She'll earn it later anyway, I'm kidding.

337
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Wow wow, But it is true, and that does make

338
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And I do think did you.

339
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: I think veto power was always the best way to

340
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: do it. If one person hates a name, you can't

341
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: possibly go forward with it.

342
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: Have to be on this, that's one. You have to

343
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: be completely on the same page. You can't even look

344
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: at your part and say, well, that's what you want.

345
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: You can't even do that. You have to like it.

346
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: And I have one more question because this is also

347
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: so interesting in terms of how people handle telling people

348
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: their baby's names. So did you tell people what Sabine's

349
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: name was before she was born. I'm not sure people asked,

350
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: but no, And how did you handle that when they asked, sweetheart?

351
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: You know me very easily not going to tell you,

352
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: holding on to that until the baby's born.

353
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: See, I remember I didn't want to to not tell people.

354
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to celebrate the name. I wanted to actually

355
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: talk to my baby when they were in my belly.

356
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: So I used the name and said the name. And

357
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: I did recognize at one moment why it's probably better

358
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: to keep a name to yourself until you actually have

359
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: the baby, because once you have the baby, people are

360
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: not going to make a negative comment about the name,

361
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: But beforehand they feel very free to offer their opinion

362
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: of the name. And so I remember when someone asked me,

363
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: what's the baby's name going to be, and I said Ava,

364
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: and this person said to me, you know that's the

365
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: name of Hitler's girlfriend, right, And so I said to them, well,

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly why I'm naming her. That asshole who says

367
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: that to somebody, well, look.

368
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: To your point. It was that person's first thought, but

369
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: it wasn't yours exactly. But now they're putting this thing

370
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: in your head. Yes, we get it Aba Braun right.

371
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's spelled with an E, not with an A.

372
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: So I felt better. And again then I was like, yeah,

373
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: that is that German connotation. Slightly different spelling, but whatever.

374
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: But no, it's true. Once you tell people your baby's

375
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: name before your baby is born, a lot of times

376
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: they will feel free to comment on what they think

377
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: about it.

378
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: You should have a name and a backup because you

379
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: might lay eyes on the kid and you definitely not

380
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: an Eva. I mean, you never know. For whatever reason,

381
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: it was in the back of my head, and I'm

382
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: sure somebody told me this, like you just you gotta

383
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: make sure the name fits with the kid. You need

384
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: to lay eyes on a kid before you name the kid.

385
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: It's funny. What was the beans backup?

386
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: Ripley and Adele?

387
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: You said that, okay? And Ava's backup was Ella. I

388
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: was really thinking about Ella, and with Anna Lise, I

389
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: was thinking about may m Ae. I just thought it

390
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: was a pretty name, and I loved little women. What

391
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: may name Macintosh was a cute name. I thought it

392
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: might work.

393
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: Well, God, she would have her life would have been

394
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: so different.

395
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: And then Ama says, I wish you would have named

396
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: me Ella. Great. I'm sorry.

397
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: I yes, you working in broadcasting, you know, a dope

398
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: of a.

399
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: TV Do you know what you were almost named? Did

400
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: you have a backup?

401
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: No, I'm a jor No.

402
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: It was always going to be Lutilius. And my mom

403
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: did tell me what my backup was, Rebecca Robock.

404
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: Thank you guys.

405
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: You want to know she didn't want anyone to call

406
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: me Becky, so that's why she opted for Amy.

407
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: She could have named you whatever.

408
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: In fact, you yeah, you never. You can't even say

409
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: my first name. You choke on it. You you yeah,

410
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: you trip on it.

411
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying your name is disgusting, but the idea

412
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: of calling you that you're just not that to me.

413
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: To the point where when we were Good Morning America

414
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: co anchors, and oftentimes you'll see when you watch anchors

415
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: they have to say TJ at the end of a read.

416
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: You then toss it to your co anchor, and you

417
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: usually say their first name. You would say Robes, but

418
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: before you felt comfortable doing it, if it said Amy

419
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: in the telepromtery, you would actually trip up your words

420
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't want to say my name.

421
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 2: It's unnatural for that to come out of my mouth.

422
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: It just did whatever. It's fine, we made it work.

423
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: I think there were times I just didn't talk. I

424
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 2: just stopped reading mine and say, well, I guess you

425
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: better start reading over there. Oh my goodness, I couldn't

426
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: say Amy.

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Well. I always think it's fun names or are something

428
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: that you live with for the rest of your life.

429
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: So it is a big decision, and I think it's

430
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: always fun to see where the trends are. We'll end

431
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: this by we said what the number one names were,

432
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: but do you know what the number what one hundred

433
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: on the girls and what one hundred on the boys is?

434
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: You want to take a guess?

435
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: No, this is you told me what just barely all right?

436
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: Number one hundred four girls, Kilanie and you say you

437
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: know a Kilani.

438
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: I've known a colony.

439
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: You've known it right now, Okay? And one hundred on

440
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: the boy's name, we know this person too, Easton. Wow,

441
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: and he's the only Easton I've ever met. But Kilani

442
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: and Easton are the two to one hundreds, and number

443
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: one is Olivia and Noah, but everything in between. It's

444
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: actually fun to look at all one hundred names. There

445
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: are some doozies in here, like Serenity is number seventy six.

446
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: I think that's so interesting. Wesley is uh number seventy

447
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: From all I can think of is Princess Brian Wesley.

448
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: Boon boy, fetch me my pale. All right, thank you

449
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,919
