The top baby names


The results are near-identical to the 2021 rankings, with only one new name making an appearance. “Olivia,” “Emma” and “Charlotte” are still the top three female names, and “Liam,” “Noah” and “Oliver” maintained their positions in the top male names.

There were no new additions to the top 10 male names, though a few of them switched places in the rankings. And the top 10 female names saw only one new entry: Luna, the Latin word for moon. (Coincidentally, it is also the most popular name for female dogs, per the American Kennel Club.) It bumped Harper, which held the 10th spot last year.

Nobody is a winner but everybody is damaged or destroyed, body as well as soul. You especially show this with these empty eyes. Excellent collage, Jacky!
