Latest Baby Name Survey Reveals That Americans Have A Brand New Virus-Themed Baby Name For Girls

Just about everyone loves picking out baby names, right? I have a whole list of baby names that I still guard closely, despite the fact that I do not have plans to have any more babies ever. And I, like a lot of you, love checking out lists of popular baby names whenever they come out.

Recently, The Bump released a brand new list of the top 100 most popular baby names for girls and boys in 2020. You might be surprised by a few: Mila and Braxton have taken over as the top girl and boy name. Mila means “miracle” in Spanish (and could also be a nod to actress Mila Kunis), and Braxton is traditionally thought of as a last name but has steadily gained momentum as a first name for years.

Last year’s most popular baby names were Sophia and Liam, so it will definitely be interesting to see if Mila and Braxton de-throne the 2019 choices!

However, there’s one surprising addition to the list: the baby name Corona is gaining popularity. It turns out Americans are naming their baby girls after the virus that is plaguing the world because… why not?
