2017 is already more than half-way over (how did that happen?!), which means Nameberry is tallying up its data on the most-searched-for baby names over the past 6 months, to come up with 100 baby girl and 100 baby boy monikers that are setting parents’ hearts aflutter.

Thanks to so many parents’ desire to be unique when choosing a name (a fairly modern trend), nearly a fifth of the names on the boys’ list are different from last year. Meanwhile, popular girl names remained more stable.

Some new Top 100 names to note: Arlo, Cassius, Kane, and Magnus (on the boys’ side) and Celeste, Fiona, and Ines (on the girls’ side).

Check out the top 50 for each sex below, and head over to Nameberry to check out the Top 100 list.
