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?

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.
