The
top ten baby names of 2016 are nothing to write home about, as they are
very close to the lists for 2015. The top six girls names ranked the
same, and the top eight boys names are the same, but in a slightly
different order. But that's not the big story here. Let's take a look at
what names a little further down the list gained popularity in 2016.
According to Buzzfeed,
it appears pop culture played a part, because Tyreese, Hershel, and
Carol all rose in popularity, thanks to The Walking Dead. The Netflix
show Stranger Things may have played a part late in the year, as Dustin,
Mike, and Joyce all rose. Banner and Harley made astonishing leaps in
popularity. But it's not just pop culture: Hillary rose 64% and Ivanka
was up 39%.
