Find Out If Your ‘Unique’ Baby Name Is Not That Unique

As every year, BabyCenter puts out a list of the year’s top baby names. I hope you don’t feel bad for taking all that time to give your special one that really unique name… because it isn’t.

Top names for girls in 2012:

Sophia
Emma
Olivia
Isabella
Ava

And for boys:

Aiden
Jackson
Ethan
Liam
Mason

BabyCenter’s naming survey also found that, for 20% of parents, “uniqueness” is the quality valued most in a name (joke’s on you)

If you have another one coming you might want to check out the rest of the top 100 for each gender, so you know what not to name your baby.
