Summer is filled with barbecues, trips to the beach and beautiful sunsets, it’s no wonder summer provides inspiration – even to expecting families naming their children. Some names like Aqua and August are easily identifiable as summer season names, but others may surprise you. Whether your child is due during the summer solstice, or you just love this time of year, you can scrap the winter-inspired names for something more in line with the season.
While others set out to discover the song of the summer, genealogy analysts at MooseRoots, a Graphiq vertical search engine, sought out to find the summer’s hottest five baby names for boys and girls. Collecting the Social Security Administration’s 2015 popularity data, they curated a list of summer names based on their meaning and relevance to the season and then ranked the list according to the names’ popularity in 2015. The list begins with the top five girls names, and is then followed by the boys.
