Popular baby name lists [1] are ever-changing, though many names find success for multiple years. In 2021, some of the most popular names [2] from last year — like Henry and Ava — are still bubbling up among expectant parents, but according to Nameberry's monthly updates that compile the highest searched names [3] of its users, there may be some newcomers to the party this year.
