Alice and Noah were the most popular names for newborns in 2020

New parents are investing in secure cards

Statistics Sweden has now released statistics on which given names that parents usually named their children last year. When it comes to newborn girls, Alice was the most popular name while Noah was the nickname that parents of newborn boys usually named their child in 2020. Alice is a really long runner on the top ten list of popular names in Sweden and has been there since 2005. About this Katharina Leibring, onomastics researcher at the Institute of Languages ​​and Folk Memories, says: “Somehow Alice has stuck with us. And unlike many of the other popular names, it is not as popular in our neighboring countries. It is a bit exciting that it is going so well. In 2020, even more girls got the name than 2019. ” Noah has also been popular and has been on the top ten list since 2000. When it comes to boy names, Sweden’s new parents seem to have become a little unimaginative as it is the same boy name of the year top list as last year, a list that rarely changes. Leibring says: “It’s the same ten boy names as it was last year. Then Matteo managed to squeeze in, otherwise the same name has been there. So there is a lot of stability on the boy name side, once the name has come up it is there decade after decade. . ” You will find this year’s top lists of the most popular nicknames for newborn girls and boys below.

Parents name their children after Instagram filters

Lux, Ludwig, Valencia, Juno, Willow and more

According to the annual baby name survey in the US, it now seems that some American parents have such a bad imagination when it comes to naming their newborns that some have chosen to name them after filters in the photo sharing app Instagram. US Weekly says that for example the instragram filters Lux, Ludwig, Amaro, Reyes, Hudson and Kelvin have become more common names among boys while parents name their girls Valencia, Juno, and Willow. However, it is not clear to what extent this is happening, but it is written that the popularity of the names has increased since last year. Linda Murray from BabyCenter who conducts the name survey says: “We were a little surprised by this. But there’s this beautiful thing that happens with an Instagram filter. You take these precious moments in your life and it makes them even more beautiful, it enhances them. I think people just have really warm feelings about that and these names come into their consciousness. ” According to BabyCenter, almost 75% of new mothers in the US share photos of their children via Instagram, of which 30% do so daily.

The British have stopped naming their child Alexa

Because of Amazon’s smart assistant?

News agency Reuters reports that the number of girls in the UK who were given the name Alexa more than halved between 2017 and 2018. Now many suspect that this may have to do with parents not wanting to name their child the same as Amazon’s smart assistant, a name that also works as an activation word for Amazon’s smart assistants. In 2017, 301 girls in the UK were christened Alexa, while last year only 118 girls were given the name. Nick Stripe from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) comments on the outcome: “The growth in the use of technology assistants in our homes may help explain why the number of baby girls named Alexa has more than halved compared to 2017. Communicating with young children can be hard enough at the best of times. ” Alexa was the 380th most popular name for newborn girls in the UK last year. Olivia was the most popular name among newborn girls in the UK while Oliver was most popular to name newborn boys.

Egyptian man names his daughter Facebook

For the role of the social network in the case of the regime

Old Ibrahim is an Egyptian man in his twenties who has decided to name his newborn daughter “Facebook”. He does so to pay tribute to the social network in its role in the Egyptian revolution that eventually led to the overthrow of the regime. Egypt has about five million Facebook users, which means that the country has more Facebook users than any other country in Africa and the Middle East. It is not clear if Egypt has any equivalent to the Swedish Tax Agency, but I assume that “Facebook” would not have been approved as a name in Sweden. Cool stuff anyway! Maybe we’ll see a little kid named “Twitter” when the atrocities in Libya are over.
