As you can imagine, we <em>love<\/em> personalized items, which also means that we are really into baby&#8217;s names.\u00a0 Big time.\u00a0 And each year we love to see what names are the most popular and what are some of the newest names on the block.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, the top name for a boy from 2014 is <strong>Noah<\/strong> and for a girl is <strong>Emma<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 And the fastest rising new names for a boy is <strong>Bode<\/strong> and fastest rising girl&#8217;s name is <strong>Montserrat<\/strong>. Looking over the period from 1915-2014, Michael has been the most popular boy&#8217;s name the most often (44 years on and off) while Mary dominated for girls 41 times over the years, says the SSA.<\/p>\n<p>This past year brings us these top 10 baby girl names: <strong>Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Isabella, Ava, Mia, Emily, Abigail, Bailey, Madison <\/strong>and<strong> Charlotte<\/strong>.\u00a0 And the top 10 baby boy names for 2014 are <strong>Noah, Liam, Mason, Jacob, William, Ethan, Michael, Alexander, James <\/strong>and<strong> Daniel.\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0According to Parenting Magazine, some of the most popular old-fashioned names, which are back in style, include: <strong>Gertrude, Nellie, Ida, Clara<\/strong>, plus <strong>Elias<\/strong> and<strong> Elijah<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But there is a growing trend toward unisex names.\u00a0 These are those names, which many celebrities also love to use for their new babies, that some think are unique or different or even strange.\u00a0 But the fact is, they have become increasingly popular as millennials want their children to feel special.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, is the name<strong> Aspen<\/strong> a girl&#8217;s name or a boy&#8217;s name?\u00a0 How about <strong>Amal<\/strong>, <strong>Landry<\/strong> or <strong>Oakley.\u00a0<\/strong> What about <strong>Dakota<\/strong>,<strong> Armani<\/strong> or <strong>Emory<\/strong>?\u00a0 And how about <strong>Quinn,<\/strong> <strong>Riley<\/strong>,<strong> Harley,<\/strong> <strong>Kamryn<\/strong> or <strong>Dallas<\/strong>.\u00a0 Certainly they are interesting names and the might even help a child create a unique identity instead of being knows as Emma or\u00a0 Jacob.\u00a0 But is there any downside to a unisex name?\u00a0 How will that unique name affect a child?\u00a0 Perhaps a future recruiter will not really know if they will be interviewing a male or female for a perspective job until they meet in person (or until they Facetime)!<\/p>\n<p>Can you think of any other ways that the gender-neutral names will be either positive or negative for the new babies being born this year?\u00a0 What are some of your favorite names?\u00a0 We&#8217;d love to know!<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes,<\/p>\n<p>Renee<\/p>\n<p class=\"permalinkable\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.thestationerystudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/july-baby-dog2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4394 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.thestationerystudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/july-baby-dog2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thestationerystudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/july-baby-dog2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.thestationerystudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/july-baby-dog2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.thestationerystudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/july-baby-dog2.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>P.S.\u00a0\u00a0 Since we also love (really love) our four-legged friends, we looked into the top 10 dog&#8217;s names for 2014.\u00a0 According to a list of the most popular puppy names released recently by the Department of Animal Services, here\u2019s the top 10:<strong> Bella, Buddy, Lucy, Max, Daisy, Charlie, Molly, Bailey, Boxy and Maggie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestationerystudio.com\/blog\/what-are-the-most-popular-names\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" src=\"\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Have you been wondering what the most popular baby names are?
