All the 16 and Pregnant Baby Names as of 2019

  1. Aubrey
    • Origin:

      English from French version of German Alberic
    • Meaning:

      "elf ruler"
    • Description:

      Almost like a fusion between vintage Audrey, bubbly Ruby, and unisex Avery, Aubrey has been a popular choice for girls since the mid 2000’s.
  2. Aubri
    • Description:

      Variation of Aubrey.
  3. Aubrielle
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
    • Description:

      This combination of names Aubrey and Brielle follows a ton of current name trends, so it's no surprise it has been on the rise since joining the US Top 1000 in 2012. We think this is a good option for parents wanting to use Aubrey while also desiring a definitively feminine name.
  4. Audrey
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "noble strength"
    • Description:

      Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour—in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.
  5. Austin
    • Origin:

      English, shortened form of Augustine, Latin
    • Meaning:

      "great, magnificent"

      • Arri
        • Aydenn
          • Bentley

              English
            • Meaning:

              "meadow with coarse grass"
            • Description:

              Bentley, a somewhat stuffy British surname, previously associated primarily with an incredibly expensive English car, has had a recent surge in popularity, thanks largely to the reality TV shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, with Bentley being the name of the son of breakout star Maci (another new favorite) Bookout.
          • Blaise
            • Origin:

              French
            • Meaning:

              "to lisp, stammer"
            • Description:

              As modern as it sounds, Blaise is an ancient Christian martyr name. In Arthurian legend, Blaise is the name of Merlin the Magician's secretary. Its relation to the word and name Blaze gives it a fiery feel. Amanda Beard named her baby boy Blaise Ray.
          • Blake
            • Origin:

              English
            • Meaning:

              "fair-haired, dark"
            • Description:

              Blake -- an early unisex option -- dropped out of the Top 100 in 2017 for the first time since 1988, but remains a sophisticated choice. And yes, both conflicting meanings of Blake are accurate. It originated as a surname in England derived from a nickname. Much of its masculine image was influenced by the wealthy, silver-haired character Blake Carrington in the massively popular 80s TV series Dynasty. Rosie O'Donnell has a son named Blake.
          • Brianna
            • Origin:

              Feminine variation of Brian
            • Meaning:

              "strong, virtuous and honorable"
            • Description:

              Brianna's popularity in the US came later than father name Brian's, peaking in the 1990s, two decades after Brian's Top 10 reign of the 1970s.
          • Brody
            • Origin:

              Irish, English, and Scottish
            • Meaning:

              "broad eye or broad island"
            • Description:

              The energetic Brody is a name that claims different meanings and origins depending on whether you're looking at its Irish, Scottish, or English history -- and Eastern Europeans claim a version too. An alternate spelling is Brodie.
          • Brooke
            • Origin:

              English
            • Meaning:

              "small stream"

              Brooke has long projected an aura of sleek sophistication, and can also be seen as a stylish water name.
          • Brooklyn
            • Origin:

              Place-name from Dutch
            • Meaning:

              "marshland"
            • Description:

              Extreme makeover: Brooklyn has gone from jokey Borough Boy name in the 1990s to a leading girls' name starting with B. The status of New York's Brooklyn as hipster heaven is ironic as few bona fide Brooklyn hipsters would choose this name.
          • Bryce
            • Origin:

              Variation of Brice, Scottish surname
            • Meaning:

              "speckled, freckled"
            • Description:

              This spelling of Brice relates the name to Utah's spectacular Bryce Canyon -- and is much more popular for both genders than the original Brice. Basketball's LeBron James named his son Bryce Maximus James, and in one of his early movies, John Cusack played a Bryce in Sixteen Candles.
          • Broncs
            • Cadence
              • Origin:

                English word name
              • Description:

                A trendy musical name that's in the Top 400 for girls, like Lyric and Aria. It is also occasionally given to boys -- 75 in 2016 -- perhaps because of its resemblance to other Ca- boys names, like Caleb and Caiden.
            • Caleb
              • Origin:

                Hebrew
              • Meaning:

                "dog; whole heart"
              • Description:

                Caleb is an attractive Old Testament name that has been in the US Top 100 for nearly three decades now. Consistently popular but never too popular, Caleb feels more like a classic than a momentary trend.
