It's that time of year when parents-to-be receive a welcome gift in planing their future family: BabyCenter's annual list of top baby names. Last year's No. 1 picks, Olivia and Noah, remain perched at the top of their respective girls/boys rankings, which USA Today notes was culled from more than 350,000 infants born this year to parents using the BabyCenter app. The list is said to take into account "the first year of Generation Beta babies," with data indicating "how deeply pop culture—down to popular TikTok aesthetics—are widening new parents' circles of influence" when it comes to picking monikers, says BabyCenter's Robin Hilmantel.
