Baby names are the hot topic among parents-to-be. Are you alone with your idea? A website has now published the world’s most popular baby names to date in 2021.

When people start a family, the door to a whole new world opens up for them with the positive pregnancy test: life suddenly pays for itself in weeks, as well as birth guides, name books are rolled through. Most people already have baby names that they hypothetically collected as a list in the back of their minds in the course of their lives, long before they planned to have children. If the theory becomes reality, however, it will be put to the test again from scratch: Does the name really sound nice? Does it have a special meaning? And above all: isn’t that what every child is called right now?

The last aspect in particular seems to play an elementary role for parents when choosing a name: it has to be unique. Unfortunately, that’s hardly a baby name, and if it is, then for good reason. In the course of finding a name, at some point you have to come to terms with the fact that a few other Kims, Monis or Lukas are already walking around in this world. Once the choice has been made, there is hope: Now just don’t get to know any namesake you can’t stand!

But since baby names are not spared from trends, it is acceptable to check the selection for a certain rarity. Because people think more like you think and so suddenly two Max, three Julias and four Annas are sitting in a class later. Oops.

So that this doesn’t happen to you, let’s give you a tiny preview of the names that parents-to-be are planning for their babies … How do we want to know?
