The Data Is Out — This Is What Parents Around The World Want To Name Their Babies In 2021
From Australia to Ghana to Japan and beyond.
Nameberry — the online resource with over 70,000 names — is visited every day by people from all over the globe searching for the perfect baby name.
Recently, they took a look at their data from 2021 to chart the most popular baby names (according to their visitors' searches) in 25 different countries.
Some of what they found makes a lot of sense. For example, Ghana's list has Abena, Akosua, and Kofi, which are Akan day names, traditionally given to babies born on a particular day of the week. But the popularity of other names, like Danger, which was searched a lot by Indian and Pakistani readers, is a little more mystifying!
With no further ado, here are the names Nameberry's international readers are searching for the most in 2021:
