These Are The Most Popular And Unique Baby Names In Delaware

Author Diana Beasley

Choosing a name for your child is one of the first most difficult tasks a new parent encounters.  It’s a name they will live with for their entire life, in most cases.

A lot goes into choosing a name.  Some new parents follow in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents and choose a family name.  Now, more than ever we are seeing an increase in popularity with the choice of names coming from pop culture.  Think Aria from Game of Thrones or Charlotte after the princess.  But as with everything the popularity of names change over time.  So what are the most popular and unique baby names in Delaware?

Popular And Unique Baby Names In Delaware

The folks over at Wordfinder went on a search for the most popular and unique baby names in every state across the US.  Using data collected from the Social Security Administration over a few decades, names were analyzed by year, generation and region.

  • Callie, Laila and Juliana are the most uniquely popular female names in Delaware, while Cayden, Aiden and Bryce are the most uniquely popular male names.
  • Amaia is the most uncommon female name in Delaware, and Arlo is the most uncommon male name.
  • The name Amelia has increased by 142,925% since 1990, while Taylor and Katherine have declined by 99%

Spooky Season is upon us, so it is time to start thinking about Halloween costumes! 

If you have kids, then you know this time of year they start to get crazy. Especially little kids. It took me a while to figure it out. I thought, is it the change in temperature? Do they sense going “back to school” even though they’re too young to have ever gone to school? Then, it dawned on me. It’s Spooky Season. Everyone gets a little crazy leading up to Halloween. There is definitely something in the air.  

We were all kids once. Maybe you still get giddy with anticipation of ghosts and goblins. I know I do. I love to have the excuse to get dressed up in Halloween costumes as someone or something other than myself. And, if you are a school-aged kid, Halloween falls at exactly the right time. It gives you enough time to get settled into the school year, yet it is early enough that you can use it to reinvent yourself. What you go as for Halloween, can make or break your reputation. Do you want to be known as the classmate who slayed with his or her awesome costume? Or as the girl who wore her grandmother’s old-lady wig and crocheted shawl as Betsy Ross? Honestly, I’ll never get over that one. My mother hates Halloween and my reputation suffered greatly for it. 

This year, pop culture will play a big role in what Halloween costumes you see at your door. There was the Super Mario movie and Barbie. I don’t think we will see too many children dressed as Oppenheimer. Taylor Swift took the nation by storm with her Eras Tour and speculation on her love life. The tween boys I know love anything cool that glows and there are even a few super cute ideas for the wee little ones this Halloween. 

Happy Haunting!

    You’re going to see a lot of Barbies for Halloween this year. If you saw the movie, you know she is so much more than just a pretty blond in pink. Be creative and pick your Barbie to go in the box: Weird Barbie, Astronaut Barbie, Western Barbie … You get the idea.
