Additionally, Baby Center pointed to a number of “name trends” that reportedly emerged in 2018, most notably the names inspired by the online video game “Fortnite” (Ramirez, Bunny and Dakota are apparently seeing a rise in popularity) along with names seemingly inspired by Chip and Joanna Gaines’ children (Emmie, Ella, Drake and Crew, and even "Magnolia," have reportedly seen spikes).
The site also suggested that the Kardashian/Jenner clan, who have chosen names including Stormi, Nori, Chicago and Saint for their kids, have influenced 2018’s trends.
