Top Ten Baby Boy and Girl Names of 2008

Choosing a name for your baby is one of the most enjoyable (and nerve-racking) aspects of pregnancy. What at first seems like a simple matter of deciding on which name you think sounds best, soon becomes a much more complex matter. Does your spouse or partner agree on the name? How does it sound with your last name? Will your child's initials spell a funny word? Does the name you love have an undesirable meaning?

Many parents review popular names from recent years when making their decision, whether it's to get ideas, or to ensure that the name they choose for their baby is unique enough to NOT be on the list. According to Babycenter.com, here are the top 10 Baby Names for both boys and girls for 2008.

Boys
1) Aiden
2) Jayden
3) Ethan
4) Jacob
5) Caden
6) Jackson
7) Noah

While choosing the perfect name for your baby can be a bit stressful, remember to enjoy this  special process. We recommend keeping your lists and marked-up Baby Name Books - it will be fun later (for both you, and your child when they are older) to pull them out and see what other names you were considering!
