Names inspired by nature also shined in 2016: Alba, Delfina, Luna, Jazmín, and Aurora are on our top 100 list. President Obama's daughters' names, Malia and Sasha, didn't appear on the top 100 list, so if you want to use those pretty names, you don't have to worry that all the girls your daughter's age will have the same name. Ivana (the first wife of president-elect Trump) is one of the top 50 names, while Michelle (Michelle Obama, at spot number 109) and Chelsea (Chelsea Clinton, Hillary and Bill Clinton's daughter) are on the list although they didn't make it into the top 100. Politics managed to make an appearance in baby girl names in 2016. Some names that made it onto the top 100 list for the first time in 2016 have an old-world, traditional and classy style: names like María Victoria, Candela, Carlota, and Trinidad. For example: Lola (up 34 spots), Carla (up 31), Julia (up 24) and Aitana (up 22).Īnd if you're looking for a less common name for your little one, you might like these names, which have plunged in popularity: Ariana (down 39 spots), Salomé (down 24), Rafaela (down 22), and Francesca (down 17). Outside the top 10, some names rose dramatically in popularity compared with 2015. Meanwhile, Valentina, Martina, Valeria, and Emma each moved up one spot. For example, Lucía fell from 3rd to 6th place Camila seems to be on its way out of the top 10, dropping from number 8 to number 10. The top 10 names stayed the same in 20, but they changed position.

It's worth mentioning that two versions of Isabella were popular with parents in 2016: spelled with two Ls and with just one: Isabela. Do moms like the name so they can call their daughters Bella ('beautiful' in Spanish)? This beautiful, romantic name started gaining popularity with the Twilight movies (the real name of the main character, Bella Swan, is Isabella) and was the second most popular name in 20. Following close behind is a name that could soon become the new champion: Isabella.
