These are the hottest baby names of 2017...so far

Long gone are the days of your child having to write the initial of their surname along with their first name because there are two other Sarahs in their class.

It may still be early in the year, but popular website Nameberry compiled a list by comparing which names had the greatest rise in pageviews in January 2017 compared to January 2016 – and the results are showing unique names that have cultural significance, like Tatjana, Noor and Koa.

Unisex names have decreased in popularity, which is interesting as it was a huge trend in 2015 and 2016.

And as always, pop culture has a huge influence, with names like Moana (a la the Disney movie), Ines (Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ daughter), and Sherlock (the TV show) making the list.
