What will the Top 10 Baby Names be in 2019?

The Baby Name Wizard: Finding the Perfect Name for your BabyLaura Wattenberg  knows a thing or two about naming babies.

As the author of THE BABY NAME WIZARD book (shown here), she is often asked for her insights onto the hows, whys, and whens of getting that perfect name for your new child.

And since Laura is such an expert, she was asked to come up with what she thinks will be THE MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES in the future… say, ten years from now in the year 2019.  For those of you keeping score, that would be — more or less — about the time today’s 3rd – 5th graders would be on that early baby-making track (8th-9th graders for those willing to wait a few more years).Laura’s predictions include:
