"What's In A Name?"

As someone with a name I'm consistently told is a unique one, I always love to see what people come up with and try not to judge the names other people pick, no matter how "strange."

Names really do mean so much to us, they carry on legacies, they symbolize hopes for the future, they carry something so much deeper than just something to call someone.

Of course, names also do carry some legal status for us which is important, and that's where the Social Security Administration comes in.

Michigan's Top Baby Names 2020

According to MLive, the Social Security Administration is the go-to when it comes to finding out the baby names that are climbing the ranks each year.

They can give us the top names in the entire United States but let's take a look at Michigan first!

MLive reports the top five names for baby girls born here in Michigan in 2020 were:

1. Charlotte
2. Amelia
3. Olivia
4. Ava
5. Emma

For the baby boys born in the Mitten in 2020, MLive says the top five were:

1. Oliver
2. Noah
3. Liam
4. Henry
5. Elijah

Top Names In America

Of course, seeing the top names in our own state is fun but what about the top names across all 50 of them?

Citing more information from the Social Security Administration, MLive reports the top names for boys and girls born in 2020 in America were all more along the more "unique" route.

They say the "fastest-growing" names for the girls included:  Avayah, Denisse, Jianna, Capri, Rosalia.

Meanwhile, the "fastest-growing" names for the boys were: Zyair, Jaxtyn, Jakobe, Kylo and Aziel.

All in all, it will be really cool to see how names rank at the end of 2021 as all of these quarantine baby boom babies are born!
