Popular baby names to look out for in the new year
Landing on the perfect name for your unborn child is a cherished and difficult task. While some may have their baby names picked out years before they decide to start a family, others need a bit of a brainstorming sesh. You can search online for popular baby names for that year, you can look into your family tree to see if a distant relative has a fantastic first name, or maybe there’s a character in a movie that inspires you (Leia, anyone?). We searched the internet to see what the web is calling for “2018 baby name predictions,” and here are a few.
