2020's Most Popular Baby Names...So Far! SJ STRUM 

10. Eleanor, 9. Eloise, 8. Ophelia, 7. Charlotte, 6. Ava Boys: 5. Silas, 4. Levi, 3. Oliver, 2. Milo, 1. Asher

In Australia Eleanor is always pronounced with the "nor" sound at the end, Elena is a separate, also lovely, name.

I just gave birth this morning 😅 To my beautiful baby girl called Maeve 🥰😍 She’s perfect and everyone has said they love our name choice 😊 xxxx

Eleanor just makes me think of the show “the good place” and I absolutely love it

I've loved Ophelia since The Lumineers released a song called that and it's gorgeous! Also, I love, LOVE Levi and Milo.

My name is Eleanor and I pronounce the or. I was actually named after the Jane Austen character

Can you do a video about popular names in the 1980s or 1990s?

Oh how beautiful, with this meaning of Eloise my daughters name is starlight. Her name is Nova Eloise 🥰

I had my little girl 4 weeks ago. We named her Juniper Ginger.

I had a feeling Asher would be number 1. Milo and Silas are on our list actually. I’m hoping they don’t get tooo popular because they’re different but not that different which is my sweet spot haha

I love Eloise! When I was younger I would read Eloise in the Plaza and I remember watching the movie as while! My hubby and I having been loving Estelle but now I’m thinking I should bring up Eloise! this is a great video, you look AMAZING♥️🙌🏼

You're giving me major Agnetha (ABBA) vibes with this look 😍 gorgeous!

I would love to see an entire video about German baby names

I would love a Welsh baby names list

I'd love to hear a biblical names list- specifically for girls

Eleanor is my middle name and we’ve always pronounced it “ Ela-Noor” My sister is Eloise but spelt Ellouise 😊

Silas was already popular in Germany when I was in kindergarten around 20 years ago. We pronounce it S-ee-las though :)

I would love to see a video about Dutch baby names ! 🤍😍 Or the most populair names in different countries in Europa 🤍

Couldn’t find the second baby name video on her channel but thanks for this one always love your baby name vids

I think I like Cordelia better than Ophelia. Love the name Levi. Think that is a great option.

My nan’s middle name was Eleanor, and my daughter’s middle name is Charlotte xx

Awww I love watching both you and Lucy Jessica Carter. You're both fab youtubers. I watch a couple who are American youtubers Rachelle and Justin. They had a beautiful baby girl who was stillborn 3 years ago called Brynn. Then they had her beautiful sister Emma who is nearly 2 now. Then a month ago, Rachelle had twin boys Reuben and Asher. So when I heard you say the name Asher, it reminded me of them. All beautiful names xxx

Eleanor, Charlotte, and Silas are such gorgeous names!!😍

I'd love to see a video on alternate names to current popular names!

Eleanor and Eloise have been on my list for so long !! I’ve recently discovered the same Silas and I absolutely love it

Charlotte is on here! Yippee! Also had Eleanor and Eloise on my list for Louisa. Great video!

My sisters name is Eleanor and I love it! I definitely would have used it if it wasn’t her name. We pronounce the nor at the end instead of the ‘a’ sound. I think it’s prettier that way but just my opinion 🤷‍♀️ most people in Australia pronounce the not as well I think?

My middle name is Eleanor and I was so shocked when you said it as I've never met anyone called Eleanor or with it in their name! My Mum used it as her name is Helen so wanted it as a connection to her without directly using her name which I think is sweet! ✨

I love Ava, it sounds so elegant and classic. I love the global connection you pointed out, SJ. Asher is really growing on me!

I first heard Silas in the tv show Jamestown and instantly fell in love 😍 also my sister is named Eleanor and we pronounce it ‘er’ at the end 😊

You look so pretty! I expected my baby son’s name Arthur to be on there. We didn’t want a really popular name but I keep hearing of Arthurs😆😆xx

I love Asher but I’m Ashley so that’s a bit close! We’re considering Archer, any opinions?

Here from Lucy's channel and I enjoyed your video so much! Thanks for doing all this research! PS. I love the print above your fireplace!

The Netherlands’ royal family has an Eloise. We got to work together during a play.

Hi Sj I am having a little girl. What do you think about Indigo Atlas?? I would call her Indie. I live the name Willa but my last name is Siller 🙈 Willa Siller!!!!!

When you said Ava was the #1 name in Australia, I wasn’t surprised 😂 I know of quite a few people who have an Ava

Loved the name Asher for years! A bit upset it is number one projected for 2020 though! How popular is it actually based on past data? Interested in North America and UK...I am worried about it becoming the next Samantha of the 90s in North America! Always love your videos thank you SJ x

This was a fun list! My cousin just picked Eleanor for her second daughter, and nicknamed her Leni which I think is so cute. I'd just like to profile my name, Marta. It is extremely uncommon in the U.S., but somewhat popular internationally, especially in Spanish speaking countries, and Italy. I'm 28 and was always the only Marta in my entire school, and have only met three others. There's quite a few famous Martas actually, for example Marta Kauffman who is the the co-creator of Friends. It peaked in 1950 at #384, but now is well outside the top 1,000. It's easy to spell and pronounce, though I usually have to spell it when I introduce myself because it is easily misheard as Martha or Marcia. My maternal grandma helped name me, and we think she got it from The Sound of Music, which I know you love SJ! Since unusual vintage names like Mabel, Maeve, etc. are on the rise I thought I'd throw it out there. Also completely unrelated, my favorite baby names. I am not having children, but since my sister started talking about potential baby names, I could not be stopped haha! My favorite for boys is Roland. It was at #544 in the US in 2018 and it seems like it's on the rise. I picked Thomas as a middle name as it's a special name for me, plus I think Roland Thomas sounds nice. I LOVE this name, and how cute would the nickname Roo be? For girls I chose Annika, which in 2018 was at #723 and maybe declining. I don't know what I'd do for a middle name, but it would go well with pretty much anything. Just for fun, and because my sister already told me she isn't using them, I wanted to put them into the universe for someone else to come across and maybe help in their baby name search!

Eleanore has alwayssss been on my list (I added the extra e cause my name starts and ends with e) ... not to mention Ophelia has been on my list for like 8 years and I got so mad (is that dumb 😂) when it got popular! But I still love both and hopefully my hunny will let me use them..... my other favorites are Hattie, Cora & primrose

My hamsters name is Ophelia 😂 she’s named after the Lumineers song, beautiful name! 💕

Loving your jewelry!! Thank you for so many videos right now - I love love love the collabs ♥️

This is great!!! Love Eloise and Asher❣️ Two name vids in two days xx

My little girl was born March 6th and we called her Violet ❤️ we thought this was different yet pretty. The lady I was next to on the ward had a csection the day before me, and also called her daughter Violet 🤣

Sorry to be slightly superficial SJ but I'm loving your hair atm! Giving me very Agnetha from ABBA vibes, which I love!

Thank you for giving us a bonus video!

one name i really like is thisbe (th-iz-bee) it sounds so vintage and cute. i also really like matilda, aurora and merrivale for boys i like charlie, hugo, freddy and wilder i love ur vids xx

You are sporting a bit of a 70's rock chick look with the hair & chains in this one SJ, very cool! While Milo is a lovely name I have often thought Malo was quite a cool simple boys name too.

You said how people are making more and more commemorative name choices... it would be great to see unusual twists on common older names! Like Philip, Stephen, Sharon, etc. I've always wanted to name a girl after my dad, Philip, but I'm not totallllly sold on Philippa. It'd be great to see if there are any alternatives!

Can you do shakespearean names? sorry if you already did a list like that.

Totally love Eleanor but would be very unhappy if people shortened it to Ellie, so I'd only use it as a middle name to make sure it stays Eleanor and isn't shortened. Charlotte is one of my faves. Charlie and Lottie are gorgeous nicknames too.

Loved Ophelia for years and it became a middle spot for us last year - Rosie Ophelia. Really like Eleanor but that could be because im an Ellen, Norie is an adorable nickname!

You look very lovely and tanned SJ ! I love the name Ophelia ( it’s very popular in the comments too!) but my husband thinks it rhymes with something very unpleasant so I don’t think we’ll ever use it. It’s so elegant though!

Addicted to these videos! We called our baby girl Nirvana-Reign and we love it but we have gotten a few funny looks haha!

you look so trendy & glamorous ✨💛

Hi SJ! I love your videos. If you haven’t already, I would love to see a fairy inspired baby name list! I’m a big fairy/butterfly fan, but all of the fairy type names (e.g. Fae) don’t go well with my last name ‘May’. I hope you have a lovely day!!! 🦋🦋🦋

There was a song called Sweet Ophelia released by an artist called Zella Day in 2015 then the Lumineers released Ophelia in 2016! I really love this name AND Elenor too. In Australia we typically say 'Ella-noore'.

Hi, Luv your baby name videos, even though I won't be needing it 😉 but was wondering if you can shed some light on my cousin's name Luwina, as I have only ever heard of her to have. Thank you if you can help & thanks for your videos if you can't..... ☺️

Eleanor: love El names, but this is probably one of my least favorites, but I'd still use it in a heartbeat Eloise: I absolutely love this name. My partner doesn't feel quite the same way, but if she relents just a little I absolutely will have a baby with Eloise somewhere Ophelia: love this name! I met a girl called ophelia when I was 11 and have been in love with it since Charlotte: beautiful timeless name, but it's too popular for me. I hate the name Lottie Ava: I think I'd spell it with the E spelling but it's so usable in almost any language Silas: one of my absolute favorite names since forever. Partner doesn't feel quite the same way, but I'm not backing down Levi: very popular in America in the 90s so I went to school with several Levis so I'd never, but I love seeing it on little babies Oliver: I'm boooored! It's very classic but it's been popular for my entire life. I'm just so sick of it Milo: very cute. I prefer it to Miles and Arlo Asher: love it! It's so usable and wearable and ages so well with baby. But my best friend's name is Ashley and my partner and I don't want to name our babies after anyone.

Wow SJ, looking lovely today x

could you do a video on tradition cornish names? one of my favourites is lowena ❣️

I LOVE Levi. I hadn't really thought about it before now but it's cool and sweet and my husband is Matthew so it kinda makes it a family name.

I played Asher in Joseph and his technicoloured dreamcoat at school 😂 oh and my 3 yr old calls him Ass Ketchup 🤣

I like for Girls:Eleanor Eloise Charlotte Ava for Boys:Oliver Asher

My baby boy will be Oliver (Ollie) (he’s due in 3 weeks) but I was thinking that I don’t know anyone else with a baby Oliver. I think people like it but aren’t using it. I know a lot more Hunters and Teddy’s.

My daughter is called Eloise and she's 3! Didn't realise it was becoming more popular! It really is the loveliest name though and she gets compliments all the time on it.

Ophelia and Eleanor are so beautiful!

The name Eleanor was never my favorite until I watched a TV show with a British character with that name and they pronounced it “Elena” and I fell in LOVE. It’s been on my future kid middle name list since but spelled Elena (which will still get confused with Ee-lane-uh) but makes more sense than spelling it Eleanor in the US. Ophelia is also very high up on the middle name list.

Can you do Scandinavian, Japanese and French baby names? 🥰 Also what do you think about the name Matheo? (Mah tè oh)

Hi from California SJ! Can you please do a rainbow baby name list? 🌈❤

you look so pretty in this!!! ❤️

I have an Oliver & Iyla! (Isla) both in the top 10 😂 my daughter was 5 when we named her and Iyla wasn't as popular we were the only ones we knew of who had spelt it slightly different too! My son is 6 months. I also didn't know any personally but since naming him I have spoken to lots of mums who's children also share the name, I didn't realise it was so popular! Lovely to hear both our names in the top 10 then though ☺️😍 xx

Such a great help with trying to find the perfect name!💙💞

I live in Australia and I’ve always associated Milo as a dog name because we have a big brand called Milo here 😂

I have been trying to have another baby for over 2 years now and I let my 11 year old daughter pick the name and she said Charlotte, which I love! Of course she would be called Lottie. I think it's popular in the US but not as much as the UK. She doesn't know any Charlotte's at school, they are about 12 Maddy's, A few Sages, classic names like Elizabeth, Katherine (Katy), a few Regans. I immediately fell in love with the name Charlotte, of course because of Charlotte's Web and Princess Charlotte. It's just so beautiful and regal but Lottie makes it sweet and friendly. It seems like a magical name and I love it.

SJ, In the US, Funky is not only a bad verb...We use it to mean cool, hip, unique..."That record shop is so funky cool!"

my names Eleanor haha and I pronounce it like the first way you said it

I’m an Elouise Charlotte so funny to see them both on the same list! X

Cornish baby names would be amazing!!

I wonder if Silas has gotten a boost from Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's son. America doesn't have royals, but we do have 90s boy bands, and those were pretty darn influential!

I'm pretty sure Ophelia jumped in popularity because of the Lumineers song of the same name, which came out in 2015/16. In America, they're a fairly popular band, and it was pretty high on the charts for a while!!

Maybe you could do baby names with traditional or popular African names?

My name is Elanor. Both my parents liked the more traditional name of Eleanor. My dad was a fan of Lord of the Rings where Samwise Gamgee’s (one of the main characters) daughter was called Elanor. It was also a star-shaped yellow flower in the book. It was slightly frustrating growing up because everyone spells it wrong but I love the spelling. I don’t have children and won’t be for some time but I love these name videos to compile my future baby name list ❤️

Eleanor, Eloise, and Ophelia were on my list. Such beautiful names! I pronounce Eleanor “ el-a-NOR”

Love the name Eleanor!

The names Ophelia and Asher are both characters from the popular US drama "How to get away with murder" from the same creator as Greys Anatomy. That series started in 2014, maybe it is related to the rise in popularity of those 2 names! Xx

It would be cool to do a video with names that are like letter swaps like Candace and Cadence, Adela and Aleda etc

I love Silas but it also just makes me think of the character Silas in a children's novel 'The Graveyard Book' where he's a vampire :(

I know little siblings named Levi and Eloise. Also love Oliver! But it's so too dang popular.

I find it so weird that Eleanor has only recently come back into the most popular names because there were 6 Eleanors in my year at school out of 100 people (I only just left school). Mine is pronounced Elean-a

Love some of these!!

My name is on the girl list and I'm 29. Just had a baby 8 weeks ago, her name is Roberta-Rose ❤

I've always loved the name ophelia for years since I heard it in a Shakespeare Hamlet. I also love Hermione and Phoebe as well which was used by Shakespeare. I always imagined having a pure black horse and calling it ophelia 😂

Eloise is my favorite name for a baby girl! 💕💕

Ophelia is probably booming because everyone is stuck at home and has watched the movie Ophelia. It was my favorite 4 years ago but I’m glad I didn’t use it, it’s going to become very popular soon.

the way you said Eleanor is the prononciation of my Italian name Elena - as a spelling difference if you like the sound of it, but are not into a name ending on r.

I love Asher, Ezra and Levi for a boy. I think Charlotte and Lenore are nice for a girl. But Ophelia is a new one for me! Very nice idea. ❤👍

I absolutely loveeeee Ophelia, definitely going to be one for my little girl in the future if I have one🥺😍

In Australia 'Milo' is a very popular chocolate/malt drink so I cant ever get around it as a name, as cute as it sounds. Ive never met anyone with the name before either haha

I'm sad because there's 3 names on here that I adore 😍 mainly Ophelia because of the song by my favourite band The Lumineers....I'm only 16 lol but I'm hoping by the time I do have a baby girl (hopefully) I'll be able to name her incorporating Ophelia somehow into her name if my spouse or whatever agrees hahahah but i hope there's not heaps of Ophelias around like there are Amelia,Emily, Sophie, Charlotte etc all lovely names but i think it's unique and I'd love for it not to be popular lol 💞

2:23 is when she actually starts
