Girl Names That Peaked in 2018

These girl names were at their highest point ever on the official US popularity list in 2018.

That may mean, of course, that they're at their lifetime peak and it's all downhill from here. Or it might mean they're hot and will only get hotter.

A name that's been very popular for a long time, like Ava or Olivia, is more likely to soften than one that's been motoring up the charts, like Maeve or Margot. Maeve and Margot's true peak most likely lies several years ahead.

The only thing this list tells you for sure is that these names are finding widespread favor, whether they're already in the Top 10 or lie much further down the list.
