Expectant parents often turn to Google to find the perfect baby name. Google released a list of the top-searched baby names for 2025 based on data from early 2025. Sherri Suzanne, a baby name consultant, noted that these names reflect curiosity rather than popularity. Cultural moments can significantly influence searches; for instance, the name Athena surged in interest following its use by Princess Beatrice of England. Vintage names like Theodore and Amelia are making a comeback alongside unique names such as Athena and Aria, demonstrating evolving preferences among parents.
'What the list does represent is curiosity - names that intrigue us,' baby name consultant Sherri Suzanne tells TODAY.com, noting that most-searched names don't always become the most popular names.
Suzanne explains that names like Theodore, Sadie, Amelia, Violet, and Milo are vintage names returning in the 21st century, appealing to parents who appreciate antique names.
