Here at Kremp, one of the most popular occasions we provide gifts and flowers for is the birth of a baby! With around 10,000 babies being born each day in the United States, that’s a lot of flowers, balloons, and adorable plushies. While the joy remains the same, baby name trends have changed dramatically over the years, shifting from biblical icons, to entertainment stars, to internet celebrities. For example, the most popular baby names of 1920 were John and Mary, prominent Christian figures. While they are still the most popular baby names of all time, they have fallen off the top 10 baby name lists in recent years. Nearly a century later, the top baby names of 2010 were Jacob and Isabella, undoubtedly sparked by the frenzy surrounding the Twilight books and films. As you read through the most popular baby names over the last 100 years, you may recognize the “why” behind some of them, making it a fascinating journey through cultural history!
