Need a light and fluffy article for these anxious times? How about baby name trends?! The baby name trackers over at Nameberry have just released their rundown of the most popular baby names 2022 has in store!

When it comes to boy names, major trends include monikers that end in “o” (Arlo, Milo, Theo, Hugo, Nico) and “s” (Atlas, Cassius, Otis, Cyrus, Magnus, Tobias). First names that sound like last names (Rhodes, Brooks, Wells), and gender neutral names (River, Kit, Zephyr, Remy, Rory). Meanwhile, for girl names, mythologically inspired names (Maeve, Luna, Iris, Freya) and book character names (Eloise, Ophelia, Alice) reign supreme, alongside other powerful, feminine options.
