The countdown is on!
In 2014, Americans gave birth to quite a few babies. They named them with quite a few names. But we’ve published the top 10 names given to newborn sons in 2014, affixing a celebrity with that same name to each one.
Scroll down from #10 all the way to #1 now:
Daniel
Sorry, 007. You’re no match for Harry Potter! Daniel Radcliffe is repping the name Daniel to kick off this countdown.
James
Everyone named James should hope they are as talented and versatile as James Franco. Perhaps a tad less creepy, however.
Michael
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. You may be long gone, but you will forever represent your first name.
Ethan
Career resurgence alert! Ethan Hawke got nominated for an Oscar this year AND managed to surpass all other famous Ethans as well.
William
D’uh! Who else but Prince William could stand in for all the new Williams in the world?
Jacob
The Twilight Saga may be over, but long may Jacob Black reign. We refuse to believe the popularity of this name isn’t tied to this character.
Mason
All Mason should be as lucky as Mason Dash Disick. He’s hanging out here with Justin Bieber!
Liam
May all Liams grow to be as big, strong and successful as Liam Hemsworth. He’s a good role model in this regard.
Noah
Noah is the number-one new boy’s name in America. And Trevor Noah will soon be the number-one man on The Daily Show. Seems appropriate.
