Any parent who’s been stumped about to name their baby would have heard of Nameberry – the go-to source for baby name inspiration. Whether you want something timeless, trending, classic, or unique, Nameberry will have it. Well, they’ve recently predicted what the most popular baby names will be in 2024. Do you agree with their assessment?
Mature Names
Even the cutest little baby will one day grow into an adult, and you want them to have a name that’s appropriate. Parents seem to be concerned about naming their children something that will promote Peter Pan Syndrome, so they’re giving their kids names that suit grown-ups.
- Agnes
- Carla
- Betty
- Clyde
- Florence
- Heath
- Helen
- Lars
- Lionel
- Ray
- Stanley
- Sylvia
Feminine Names for Boys
Masculine names for girls have been the trend for a long time, but the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way now. With the rise in popularity of men who are in touch with their femininity – such as Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet – giving boys names that are stereotypically girls’ names is trending.
- Blair
- Carmen
- Cleo
- Eden
- Greer
- Harlow
- Irie
- Jade
- Juno
- Morgan
- Romy
- Rue
- Winter
Musical Icons’ Names
Naming a baby with the same name as a musical icon has always been popular, and 2024 won’t be any different. As always, parents are eager to name their children after their favorite musical artist, or the band responsible for their favorite song.
- Collins
- Denver

STEM Names
Everyone wants their kid to grow up to be smart, right? And with the tech industry growing more and more, it makes sense that folks would want to give their kids a nudge in that direction. While people aren’t going to mimic Elon Musk and name their babies X, they will give names inspired by STEM.
- Astra

- Darwin
- Edison
- Franklin
- Hutton
- Kepler
- Link
- Meridian
- Octavia
