Favorite Baby Names From a Fresh 48 Photographer

Your child's name is one of the most important things you can gift your child. They'll outgrow their carseat, onesies, and even their first books, but their name will follow them. As a Fresh 48 photographer, I get to hear new names daily and help predict the trends. Below are some of my favorite baby names that I have photographed.

We'll start with the boys' names. As a boy mom times four, my husband and I really struggled coming up with names. All of our boys have five letters in their names, are easy to say and spell, but aren't super popular. Calli's Favorite Boys Names of 2023 10. Atlas

9. Behr 8. Malik 7. Desmond / Desi 6. Conrad 5. Rhett 4. Onyx 3. Oscar 2. Santiago 1. Luca - I believe that Luca is going to be the new Aiden. I have photographed a dozen Lucas in 2023. Luca means, "Bringer of light." It has roots in Italy. I have seen this name spelled with two C's or with a Ck as well. Calli's Favorite Girls Names of 2023 10. Fallon

6. Lenni

5. Analise

4. Eleanor

3. Juni

2. Billie 1. Maeve - Just like Luca, I think that Maeve is the new it-name for little girls. Maeve is an Irish name that means "Intoxicating" or "She who rules." Can't you just envision a feisty little feminist with this name out on the soccer field in a few years, putting bullies in their place?

Jot down your favorite names and report back to me. What names do you think will be trend in 2024? What names do you think will fall-out of popularity? I'm still photographing a lot of Liams, Olivers, Noahs as well as Amelias, Olivia, and Audreys but will less frequency in 2024 compared to 2022.
