People continue to really enjoy naming their kids Sophia and Jackson. The names sit atop the list of most popular baby names for the ninth and sixth consecutive years, respectively. The names Logan and Zoe did not fare so well, having been pushed out of the top 10 in 2018 in favor of Oliver and Layla, which both entered the top 10 for the first time. Names to keep an eye on? Everly, Isla, Leo, and Carson, which were the fastest-rising names of the year, per BabyCenter. Why do the top two rule? "Sophia is the dominant girls' name of the decade, with no signs of slowing down," says BabyCenter's global editor in chief, per SFGate. "It has worldwide appeal, it's pronounceable in multiple languages, and it's feminine and sophisticated all at once. As for Jackson, it's a modern twist on the old classic Jack."
