一些名字正飞速“崛起”，比如男孩名Genesis, Saint（侃爷Kanye West的儿子就叫Saint West）, Baker, Kylo（受《星球大战》角色Kylo Ren的影响）和Watson等；女孩名则有Meghan（受梅根王妃影响）, Dior, Adalaa, Palmer等。

Based on the SSA data, the names that are getting more popular by the minute include Genesis, Saint (hello, Saint West), Baker, Kairo, and Watson for boys, along with Meghan (as in the Duchess of Sussex), Dior, Adalee, Palmer, and Oaklynn for girls.

四个字母的名字

调查显示，虽然宝宝名字越起越短，但四个字母的名字仍是最标准（普遍）的。尤其是女孩名里，比如Luna, Isla, Mila和Cora都越来越受欢迎；男孩名中则有Bode和Zaid。

Research says that are baby names are getting shorter — with the four-letter name becoming the ideal. This is especially true for girls, with names like Luna, Isla, Mila, and Cora getting traction, though boy names like Bode and Zaid are gaining ground, too.

来自不同文化的名字

去年还盛行起来自世界各地、不同文化的名字。比如毛利人的名字Aroha，或印第安名字Niabi，希腊名字Acacius和Cyrene。来自斯堪的纳维亚的名字尤其火，比如Anders，Bjorn，Gunnar，Leif，Magnus和Thor（雷神索尔就是Thor，源于北欧神话）。

Nameberry examined its users' baby-name trends over the last year and found a big jump in monikers borrowed from cultures all over the world. Think Maori names like Aroha to Native American names like Niabi to Greek names like Acacius and Cyrene. Scandinavian names, like Anders, Bjorn, Gunnar, Leif, Magnus, and Thor, are becoming particularly hot.

王室名字

王室名字仍旧引领潮流。比如据BabyCenter网统计，自打梅根嫁给哈里后，Meghan这个女宝宝名排名提高了49%。网站还预测，梅根哈里给儿子起的名字——阿奇（Archie），甚至尤金妮公主的名字Eugenie以及尤金妮公主丈夫的名字Jack，同样也会有上涨之势。

BabyCenter says anything to do with the English monarchy gives those names a Royal bump. It reports that interest in the name Meghan jumped 49 percent for girls after the royal wedding, for example. BabyCenter predicts similar bumps for Archie, and even Eugenie and Jack.

不过，现在梅根和哈里已经放弃王室头衔，2020年他们的名字是否还会流行，是个问题~
