Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And it is time once again to take a look at the top baby names for the year.

Speaker A:

e most popular baby names for:

Speaker A:

And the top names for both boys and girls are the exact same they've been for seven years in a row now.

Speaker A:

Boring.

Speaker A:

Come on, folks, really.

Speaker A:

I have never had kids, never had the desire, but I feel like I'm.

Speaker A:

I feel like I'm gonna have to just so I can try to throw a kink in the stranglehold that Olivia and Liam have on top names.

Speaker A:

And they're fine names.

Speaker A:

They're.

Speaker A:

They're fine names.

Speaker A:

But seven straight years of Olivia being the top girl's name.

Speaker A:

Seven straight years of Liam being the most popular boys name, rounding out the top 10 for boys two through 10.

Speaker A:

And the top four have all been exactly the same for the last two years now.

Speaker A:

But you got Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore.

Speaker A:

Those have all four been the same for two years in a row.

Speaker A:

So Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore, then Henry, James, Elijah, Mateo, or Matteo.

Speaker A:

I'm not sure how you'd pronounce it.

Speaker A:

I'm assuming Mateo, William.

Speaker A:

And number 10 is Lucas for the girls.

Speaker A:

Well, we've got to shift at number two.

Speaker A:

At least Charlotte has made her way up to the number two spot.

Speaker A:

Emma had been number two for the last six years.

Speaker A:

Emma is the name of Giggles McIntern, who have not heard from in a few months, so I don't know if she's still alive.

Speaker A:

But Olivia is number one again.

Speaker A:

Charlotte slips into number two, Emma's at number three, and then it's Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Evelyn, Sophia spelt the other way, and Elena.

Speaker A:

So Sophia is there twice at number five with a ph and at number nine with an F. So if the Sophia crowds could get together, they could probably take the top spot if they could agree on one spelling.

Speaker A:

When you look at the names that are becoming more popular, rising in popularity, one of the fastest rising names for boys is Casey, which is fire in Japanese or Swahili, And.

Speaker A:

And clarity for girls, spelled with a K. Clarity, spelled with a K. There you go.

Speaker A:

The top baby names for the year.

Speaker A:

And, you know, there are studies that say you can find to some extent what a person is going to be like, who a person's going to be, what their personality will develop into based on their name.

Speaker A:

So I'm going to make predictions for who your baby will become based on their name.

Speaker B:

Well, gather round, folks.

Speaker B:

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker B:

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Speaker B:

Here comes the fun.

Speaker B:

It's the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

We're talking.

Speaker A:

Taking a look at the top six predictions for who your baby will become based solely on their name.

Speaker A:

Coming in at number six, Myrtle is going to be a cat lady.

Speaker A:

Of course.

Speaker A:

Number five, Betty Jones.

Speaker A:

Always going to be a Walmart cashier.

Speaker A:

Although those are becoming less popular.

Speaker A:

I would say Betty Jo could be a Walmart cashier or double as a door greeter.

Speaker A:

They still do that, right?

Speaker A:

They still do greeters sometimes.

Speaker A:

Coming in at number four, McKinley.

Speaker A:

Clearly a Mormon reality TV star.

Speaker A:

The top six predictions for who your baby will become based on their name.

Speaker A:

Number three, Tony.

Speaker A:

A mob informant.

Speaker A:

Tony's gonna.

Speaker A:

Tony's gonna be the rat, actually.

Speaker A:

Number two, Aurora.

Speaker A:

You know Aurora is a fortune teller.

Speaker A:

And the number one prediction for who your baby will become based on their name at number one, Rosalita means deported.
