You’ll notice that this list mostly contains traditional spellings. BabyCenter.com combines names that sound the same but have multiple spellings, for example Sophia and Sofia or Jackson and Jaxon. So keep an eye out for the official U.S. government list, which is typically released a few months into the new year, to see if your baby’s unique spelling made the list.
