The 200 Most Popular Baby Names Of 2022

ADVERTISEMENT

Creating a note titled “baby name ideas” on your phone (un)officially marks the beginning of your new life as a parent — an existence full of joy, sleepless nights, and a constant state of overwhelming feelings. Giving a name to that small bean growing inside of you makes everything much more real. The next 20 years or so will be spent maturing together with this little person, so the choice is more important than ever.

Since you’re in the throes of a pregnancy-induced roller coaster of emotions, you’re probably spending a considerable amount of time scrolling through lists of names scattered around the web. But if you’re here, reading this, it means you haven’t found The One. Not yet.

That’s why we compiled a list of the most popular baby names of 2022. These names will be the most appreciated in the upcoming years, so take a look and see if any of them strikes your fancy. Meet your future baby with confidence, knowing that the name you chose will be as awesome as they are!

Also, keep in mind that we’ve compiled the original order based on the most popular names on BabyCenter. It’s up to you and other Pandas to upvote your favorite baby names to see them rank higher on the list. These cute names are surefire winners this year, so let us know in the comments if you think one of them fits your little bundle of joy!

Fueled by my love for Arcane, oversized hoodies, and weightlifting, I try my best to bring even more fun energy to Bored Panda. My cup of tea? Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas. When I’m not crafting articles, my eyes are still glued to a screen — be it binge-watching my favorite shows, leveling up in video games, or learning Spanish with Duolingo. Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.

Lots of duplicates on this list. Needs to tighten up. Probably only about 150 names minus dups.
