Baby names are usually a reflection of what is going on in society at the time. The changes in the list reflect a year of political divisiveness and loss. Upon the death of Kobe Bryant, the name Kobe shot up the list 175%, and his daughter’s name Gianna, also made a 216% climb. The name Kamala climbed the list, reflecting 104% positive rise and the name Liberty rose 12% in popularity. Additionally, the names Karen and Chad both declined 13% and 12% respectively.
