When parents are expecting a child - part of the pregnancy time is spend picking out a name. Usually the couple tries to come up with something original, a family name, or a name they have wanted to use since they were little (looking at you ladies). Sometimes the names are just dumb, sometimes they are perfect, and a lot of the time that 'original' name will end up being the most popular name of the year. That happened with us. We named our daughter Sophia and for the last few years that has been the most popular name for girls. So if you thought you were being creative and named your kid Sophia or Noah...get ready for a surprise. Those were both the top names for 2013.

What were the rest of the most popular baby names in 2013?

The top 10 boys names for 2013 are:  Noah, Liam, Jacob, Mason, William, Ethan, Michael, Alexander, Jayden, and Daniel.

The top 10 girls names for 2013 are:  Sophia, Emma, Olivia, Isabella, Ava, Mia, Emily, Abigail, Madison, and Elizabeth.
