Naming your offspring can be tough. With our first baby, it pretty much took about 3 weeks before he was born for my wife and I to decide on a name.

The 2nd boy’s name was decided when a friend accidentally thought Cruz’s name was Cash. And I was like, “That’s the next boy name!”

The Social Security Administration has put out the top 10 boys and girls names from 2016!

If you need name ideas, or want to know which ones to avoid, here are the most popular baby names.

Boys: Noah, Liam, William, Mason, James, Benjamin, Jacob, Michael, Elijah, Ethan

Girls: Emma, Olivia, Ava, Sophia, Isabella, Mia, Charlotte, Abigail, Emily, Harper

You can even see the most popular baby names by state! And for Illinois, we are pretty much along the same lines as the top 10 above. Click here to see.

There is even a place here to type in a name to see how it’s popularity has changed! Kylo for boys and Kehlani for girls are the fastest rising. Quite a few interesting names on that list too. Sadly, Gleb gets ignored again.

ORyan tha KANG!
