I find it so fun to go through the name lists every year; which ones will become popular this year and which names will disappear? With boys‘ names, that's been no surprise for years, as apparently we are still not tired of the Finns, Noahs, and Sems, but with girls’ names, I do see some surprising new additions this year: Noé for example, or Mae. In any case, names with 'ae' seem to be on the rise, so expect to see many Maeves in your surroundings.

Perhaps the most fun for me are the unisex names: I think Bobby is such a nice name, and since my best friend named her son Jip, that name is also high on my favorites list. I also find Bowie too cute. Yes, those unisex names are winning for me this year.
