A new study has revealed the most popular baby names of the last two decades. Charlotte, George, and Louis steadily climb up the chart while Emily is a top choice for a girl and Jack for a boy. According to the data from the Office of National Statistics from 1996 to 2019, some old classic names have stayed popular yet some skipped into the top ten.<\/p>\n

\"Cute<\/p>\n

Some names, such as Jessica, Sophie, Jack, or Thomas, will always be popular, and rarely fall out of favor. But it seems that recently new parents have turned to the Royal Family for inspiration, as Charlotte became popular in the year following Princess Charlotte’s birth, as did George which was the 10th most popular name the year after Prince George was born.<\/p>\n
