About Journey
Journey is one of the hot new spiritual names. Although Journey was given in 2015 to over 1100 baby girls and fewer than 100 baby boys, it's more visible on the celebrity baby scene as a boys' name: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green just chose the name for their third son, who also has the unisex middle name River.
Pronounced JER-nee.
As of October 2026, Journey ranked #1951 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1392 in 2020.
