Girl of the Year 2025: Summer McKinny
Girl of the Year 2025 Journal Release Date + Author
Sophia and Charlotte are the same at Nos. 4 and 5, while Isabella (No. 6) and Ava (No. 7) traded spots. There’s been a rise in unisex and gender-neutral names for a while now, and the trend shows no signs of stopping. But both Nameberry and BabyCenter also see that parents don’t care if a name is traditionally a boys’ name, a unisex name or girl’s name. Just when you thought Star Wars couldn’t drive any more baby names, along comes Cassian — as in Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna. (It’s also a big one for the A Court of Thorns and Roses fans.) And doesn’t Kyren seem like it could be a shortening of Kylo Ren? Kylo is already No. 405 on the SSA list, a good match for Rey at No. 794.
Names like Jack, Leo, and Max are easy to pronounce and remember, making them appealing choices for many parents. These names also suit a variety of personalities, from playful to serious. Pick a name for your boy dog that you like to say (and that you won’t be embarrassed to yell across the park or put on a dog ID tag). You’ll be saying your boy puppy’s name a lot over time, as a quick attention grabber or just as part of their overall training and socialization. As we all try our best to make more eco-friendly decisions, some parents are looking for names inspired by nature and the environment for their new arrival, and it’s unsurprising after reading some of these names. Nameberry’s Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide has you covered, from TTC to the fourth trimester (wait, there’s a fourth trimester?).
