Baby Names 2019

Allow me to introduce to you the 2019 SFS List of Baby Names that Combine Similar Pronunciations. That baby name list is the place to go in case you are wondering what are the most popular baby names in 2019 regardless of how they are spelled. The Social Security baby name list does not adjust the rankings based on alternate spellings (like Catherine/Katherine), but SFS does.
Normally the baby names are released for Mother’s Day, but this year they blamed COVID-19 for a delay. They just published the 2019 names at the end of September, so now they are here on my site. Last year’s champion, Jackson is again the most popular boy’s name in the US but losing ground to Liam and Noah. Aiden is still losing popularity.
No controversy for the girls – it’s Sophia again. It’s holding strong, but last year’s 3rd place winner – Emma – took a nosedive this year.
Some Stats
- The top 4 names for the boys are the same, spot #5 last year William dropped way down, allowing Lucas to move up.
- The top 6 names for the girls are the same as 2018, it’s just that Emma and Amelia switched spots, as did Ava and Isabella.
- Again, Liam has the title of the highest-ranked boy’s name that has no spelling variations, at number 2.
- Again, Emma is the highest-ranked girl’s name that has no spelling variations, but at number 4.
- Girl names still have more spelling variations than boy names (269/1000 vs. 180/1000 alternates)
- Kayson once again took the prize for the most spelling variations for the boys at 8.
- For the girls, Adaline, Madalyn and Layla are tied at 6 variations, and Amaya at lost one and is now at 5.
- Sophia is still the favorite for the girls, but the gap is closing. Spots 2 and 3 increased their count last year, so Sophia’s run at the top may have an end in sight. There’s still a lot of room between 1 and 2, so that end may be farther rather than closer.
