Ever called your friend's name and more than one person turned their heads?
Each year, certain baby names rise above the rest in popularity, and M Health Fairview released the list of top contenders on Monday. More than 12,400 babies were born at a Fairview birthplace in 2023 in Minnesota, according to a release.
For boys, Theodore eked out a win over Henry, though the two names have been in the first and second spots since 2021. For girls, Charlotte took the cake, which was not surprising as the official release calls it a "perennial frontrunner."
Noah and Lucy are new entries on the list.
