For those with good memories, the name was the number one pick for 2017, too. Our favorite Hemsworth brother, Liam Hemsworth, no doubt has something to do with the popularity, along with former One Direction-er Liam Payne. It is less likely that people are naming their kids after Liam Neeson nowadays unless the parents are massive action movie fans, but you never know. (And we aren&#8217;t here to judge you either way.) Forgetting about celebrities, Liam is just an adorable, easy-to-pronounce and spell name in general.

Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Emma Roberts, Emma Thompson, the list goes on. So, it is understandable that people may have been subconsciously inspired to pick the name based on how much we hear it in pop culture. Or, maybe it was a more conscious choice. Perhaps people still cannot get enough of the name thanks to Baby Spice aka Emma Bunton or because of Ross and Rachel&#8217;s baby on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/friends-millennials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friends<\/a><\/em>. The 1990s always seem to be making a comeback so why should baby names be any exception?

The name hasn&#8217;t really dated like some. Plus, it is rich in Biblical and historical references. You&#8217;re likely familiar with the story of God choosing Noah to build his ark, but were you also aware that Noah is a Hebrew name that means &#8220;rest&#8221; and &#8220;comfort?&#8221; (That&#8217;s according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/baby-names-noah-3431.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baby Center<\/a>.) And don&#8217;t underestimate the sway of <em>Stranger Things<\/em> star Noah Schnapp and your new boyfriend Noah Centineo. Noah is on the boys&#8217; list, but maybe its popularity will result in it becoming a genderless name. Take a look at Billy Ray Cyrus&#8217; daughter Noah Lindsey Cyrus.<\/p>\n<h2>Girl #2: Olivia<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204205\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204205\" style=\"width: 697px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204205 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde.jpg\" alt=\"Most Popular Baby Names 2018 Olivia Wilde Beautiful Selfie Instagram\" width=\"697\" height=\"682\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde.jpg 697w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde-204x200.jpg 204w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde-640x626.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 697px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 697\/682;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204205\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde.jpg\" alt=\"Most Popular Baby Names 2018 Olivia Wilde Beautiful Selfie Instagram\" width=\"697\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde.jpg 697w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde-204x200.jpg 204w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-Olivia-Wilde-640x626.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204205\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bvi3cAUn-jZ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\/@oliviawilde<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Olivia finished just shy of the top spot for girls for 2018. Fun fact: In 2017, it ranked in the same position. I&#8217;d like to think that Olivia Coleman has something to do with the popularity of the name, but she did not win her Academy Award for <em>The Favourite<\/em> until February 2019, so maybe it&#8217;ll rank at the top next year. It is still easy to see the appeal of the name. Olivia is of Greek origin and it is the feminine form of &#8220;Oliver,&#8221; meaning &#8220;olive tree&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/baby-names-olivia-3504.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baby Center<\/a>.

Don&#8217;t me wrong, I&#8217;m all for Prince William but you would have thought Louis, Charlotte, and George would have been the names setting the trend. And what would Prince Harry say about this? Moving beyond the heir to the throne, William has a rich history with countless greats having the name from the aforementioned William Shakespeare to William Shatner.

It is actually a variation on Eve. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/baby-names-ava-450.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baby Center<\/a> states that the name could potentially come from the Latin &#8220;avis&#8221; which means &#8220;bird.&#8221; Ava is also a simple palindrome (a word where the characters are read the same forwards and backwards). In recent years there has been a baby name trend for old school names gaining popularity with modern parents and this is a good example. Ava has a throwback vibe thanks to Ava Gardner but it also has a new school vibe thanks to Ava DuVernay.<\/p>\n<h2>Boy #4: James<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204196\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204196\" style=\"width: 747px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204196 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy.jpg\" alt=\"Most Popular Baby Names 2018 James McAvoy Posing With London Bus Instagram\" width=\"747\" height=\"734\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy.jpg 747w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy-204x200.jpg 204w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy-640x629.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 747px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 747\/734;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204196\" src=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy.jpg\" alt=\"Most Popular Baby Names 2018 James McAvoy Posing With London Bus Instagram\" width=\"747\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy.jpg 747w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy-204x200.jpg 204w, https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-2018-James-McAvoy-640x629.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204196\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BwzpMpoF9oe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\/@jamesmcavoyrealdeal<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We just talked about William and here&#8217;s another noble name earning high marks from new parents. James is a classic name that sounds as good for 2019 as it did in 1619. How many other names can you say that about? Exactly. It has been the name of many kings, Harry Potter&#8217;s dad, a certain 007 agent, and The Godfather of Soul, plus, many, many more. It pretty much could work for any personality. Another thing to consider about its popularity is that maybe a lot of people still have a soft spot for James and the Giant Peach.
