Welcome to the world, male babies born in 2016!
While we celebrate the miracles of life that have come to recently be, it’s time to share a rundown of the most popular boy baby names from the past 12 months.
Along with the celebrities we assume inspired these names.
Courtesy of BabyCenter.com, the 19 most popular boy baby names of 2016, in descending order, were…
Alexander
Alexander Skarsgard may have influenced some of these parents, but let’s be real: this is all about Alexander Hamilton.
Logan
Logan and Veronica Mars, forever!
Jayden
Wow. Sorry, Jaden Smith. We’ll never make fun of you again.
James
Always a classic. We choose to believe it was most influenced in 2016 by James Corden.
Carter
We mean… Carter Capps is a pretty good relief pitcher.
Benjamin
You could do a lot worse than have your son grow up to look like Benjamin Bratt.
Michael
Because of Michael Phelps probably, right? If we’re going by 2016 accomplishments, that is.
Jacob
The power of The Twilight Saga is eternal!
Grayson
Interesting. Many college basketball pundits did predict Grayson Allen would win Player of the Year.
Elijah
Elijah Wood is a pretty good actor, we guess. Long live Wilfred!
Oliver
Hey, a lot of people out there watch Chicago Med!
Caden
Ummm… Caden M. Fritz is a young actor. This is a photo of him.
Mason
Mason Disick is a cutie, this cannot be denied!
Ethan
Ethan Hawke has seen a career resurgence of late. Nice to see it being recognized by parents around the nation.
Noah
Like, Noah from the Bible… right? It must be. That can could build an ark.
Liam
These babies were all born with a particular set of skills.
Lucas
Lucas Duda plays for the New York Mets. He’s pretty good at baseball.
Aiden
Aiden Turner is a beloved soap opera star. We just didn’t know he was THIS beloved.
Jackson
If these kids really were named after Samuel L. Jackson, we assume their first word will be a curse. Probably F-CK.
