David doesn't even make the top 100 for boys, but Jaden was number 18.
Among girls, Autumn was a more popular girls name than Summer, but both were more popular than Maria. (Winter and Spring did not make the cut).
Girls names like Neveah, Adison, Madison, and Savannah well outranked classics like Elizabeth and Jane.

Among the baby boys, biblical names were more popular, with Luke, Jacob and Noah all making the top 10.
