The 3 Biggest Baby Name Regrets & 500 Top Baby Names for Boys and Girls

The 3 Biggest Baby Name Regrets & 500 Top Baby Names for Boys and Girls

I remember finding out I was pregnant with my first child and instantly wanting to peruse the 'net for the perfect name.  You've gotta find the right fit!
Before checking the much anticipated list of names, be sure to read through the biggest regrets mom's have when selecting a name for their child below.  It may keep you from picking a name you regret :)
What are the biggest regrets after choosing a name?
This part my friend is exciting. Some couples are quick to pick a name and others research forever to find the perfect name for their little one. Which are you?  

    There are lots of things to consider when selecting a baby name. One specifically that I personally thought of was how many syllables the name had because I KNEW if they were to be anything like me as a child, I'd be yelling their name... a LOT!  

     

    Really though. What is steering your baby name decision? Are you interested in a common name? A popular name? A family name? A unisex name? One with meaning? One that starts with a certain letter?

    There are so many things to consider and think about. Welcome to the world of baby names! One thing we found interesting is that 20% of parents end up regretting the name they chose for their child.  

    Here are the 3 biggest regrets so you can avoid them when you're selecting a name.

    The 3 Biggest Name Regrets:

    1. Selecting a name that was too popular.  

    • The biggest regret after parents selected a baby name was picking one that was too high on the popularity chart. If you think you'll be one to have that regret, scan the list below to get an idea of what's trending high. This is the top 20 list from 2021 from the social security administration.

    2. Peer pressure

      • The second biggest regret after selecting a baby name is choosing one that was somebody else's idea or influence. Many moms admitted to picking a name based on family history, parents suggestions, or friends favorites instead of sticking to their own liking. Remember, your child will have this name for their entire lifetime, be sure it's one that you want to be repeating over and over ;)

    3. Picking a name that didn't fit

    • Nowadays, parents will often select a few names and hold off on naming the child until they've had a day or two with them. That's totally normal and acceptable! Get to know your child's personality first if this is something you think may concern you. You don't have to fill out the birth certificate right away, so spend some time getting to know your baby before deciding on the perfect fit.

    The Social Security Administration comes up with an annual list of top baby names used the previous year.  Here is a complete list of top baby boy names and top baby girl name overall.  If you're looking for a less popular baby name, stick to the bottom of the list or check out our lists of unique baby boy names or unique baby girl names.  Here we go!
