Every year we get a complete list of the most popular baby names and let's be honest, it's pretty fun to see if any names you love made the list.
The list was complied by BabyCenter.com.
According to WIVB, 2020's events had an influence on the list. The tragic death of basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna back in January was honored by many families, as Kobe rose to the 216th most popular name for boys. Gianna rose to 24th for girls.
