Are you a Millennial? Your parents tried to show some creativity in picking your name. The Baby Boomers had a limited group of names, making things seem bland.

The data below comes from the Social Security Administration and only applies to USA. The most common names are listed (top 21)-- along with the number of children receiving that name throughout the 2010s decade. Here it is:
