Favorite Baby Names: A to Z

Updated Mon Oct 28 2019

We haven’t done a Nameberry alphabet challenge for a looooong time — since 2012, to be precise! — so we thought it might be fun to see how the Berries’ tastes for their favorite baby names have changed over the past seven years.

Popular picks back then included Archer, Asher and August for boys and Zara, Zinnia and Zola for girls, all of which have more or less doubled in popularity (in terms of rank) over the intervening years. Well, we do always say that our trendsetting members are great predictors of future fashions in baby names!

So, today’s Question of the Week is simple: tell us your single favorite boy name and your single favorite girl name for each letter of the alphabet.

(Yes, you have to choose just one!)

We can’t wait to see the results! Share your responses below or join us on Facebook or Twitter to continue the conversation.
