Even during a pandemic, life goes on. Couples get pregnant, and babies get born. Though we hear new parents naming their newborns coronavirus-inspired baby names, they are just a few (Thank goodness!). You can fuse you and your partner's names, pay homage to the grandparents, opt for gender-neutral names or baby names that are popular in other countries such as Korea and Japan.
We're six months into the year, and The Bump recently released the most popular baby names in 2020 so far. We've checked the name meanings of the first ten names for boys and girls, and several of them could still connect to the current situation, bringing hope and a new beginning.
Every baby is a blessing, pandemic or no pandemic. Check out the top 100 names for boys and girls, and choose or take inspiration from them.
