The experts at Nameberry released their annual list of top baby names this week, with Olivia and Atticus in the top spots yet again.

The names lead the baby name site’s rankings for the second year in a row. New arrivals include Genevieve and Rose for girls and Finn for boys. Seven of the top 10 girls’ names end in the letter “a.”

Nameberry’s year-end popularity list is based on which names attracted the most page views in 2018, out of a total of 250 million views.

“It’s a measure of parents’ interest in baby names and a predictor of which names will become more popular in the future,” the site’s report states. “While the latest national list measures 2017 popularity, Nameberry’s list gives a more current sense of what parents are considering NOW.”
