The New Top 10 Contest Winner

Congratulations to our Berry Amy, known in the comments as Orchid_Lover, who won our “Guess the New Top 10” contest!

Amy’s predictions for the Top 10 baby names of 2018 were as follows:

1.     Emma

Noah

2.     Olivia

Liam

3.     Ava

William

4.     Sophia

Oliver

5.     Isabella

Benjamin

6.     Charlotte

Elijah

7.     Mia

James

8.     Amelia

Lucas

9.     Evelyn

Mason

10.  Harper

Logan

The actual list is:

1.     Emma

Liam

2.     Olivia

Noah

3.     Ava

William

4.     Isabella

James

5.     Sophia

Oliver

6.     Charlotte

Benjamin

7.     Mia

Elijah

8.     Amelia

Lucas

9.     Harper

Mason

10.  Evelyn

Logan

Amy correctly predicted that Harper and Lucas would join the Top 10, replacing Abigail and Jacob.

Her girls’ list was pretty much spot-on, with only Sophia and Isabella and Evelyn and Harper flipped.

On the boys’ side she had William, Lucas, Mason, and Logan correctly placed, and was very close in predicting Oliver’s relatively large rise.

An honorable mention goes to Chiara12, who also had all the right names in her top 10.
