Hello, I’m Awesome
Many cultures look for baby names inspired by the characteristics of the child. But some parents are taking this too far which is no more evident than with our first name on the list.

- Savvy
- Honest
- Shiny

Captain of the baby names
It gets better. Because many parents last year also decided to name their child something guaranteed to keep their ego perfectly in check. Captain led the way for 26 boys last year but others that follow suit include:

- Boss
- Master
- Goddess
- Czarina
- And, of course, Khaleesi – which is a made-up word for “Queen” based on Game of Thrones – (241 girls have bestowed this moniker in the US in 2014)
