Names derived from Greek mythology and popular culture have seen a significant surge in popularity for newborns in the United States this year. According to data from BabyCenter, names associated with The Odyssey, such as Odysseus, have climbed rapidly in rankings. This trend extends to characters from the popular hockey book series Off-Campus and Heated Rivalry, as well as the television western Yellowstone. Among the rising choices are names like Atlas, Ares, Ilya, and Stetson, which have all seen notable increases in usage since the beginning of the year.
Conversely, the name Taylor has experienced a sharp decline in popularity, despite the ongoing public interest in Taylor Swift. It has fallen to its lowest position for girls in over two decades and dropped out of the top one thousand for boys for the first time in history. Overall, Olivia and Noah remain the most popular names in the United States, based on data collected from over 350,000 births between January and October.
