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 after a beloved family member, popular celebrity or famed sports hero, or just a name they like, most parents give a lot of thought into picking just the right moniker for their son or daughter.
At Catholic Health, Emma and Lucas topped this year’s list of most popular baby names, knocking out Olivia and Noah from last year’s top spot.
