It’s probably one of the first decisions parents make – sometimes long before their baby is born – what to name their new bundle of joy. Whether it’s a traditional family name or the name of a popular celebrity or famed sports hero, Joshua as in Allen, for example, most parents give a lot of thought into picking just the right moniker for their son or daughter.
In Catholic Health, Charlotte and Liam topped this year’s list of most popular baby names, knocking out Emma and Lucas from last year’s top spot. New to this year’s list are Harper, Sophia, and Amelia for the girls and Oliver, Joseph and Wyatt for the boys.
