baby names

As the new year has begun, so has new life here in Idaho! And with new life, comes new names for those precious babies.

we took a deep dive and looked into all the research around the most popular baby names in Idaho this year.

Idaho parents are u ok?

Girl names that end in A sound great when you sing them, and they're amazingly popular in Idaho. And if you're having a boy, start the name with an E and he will be surrounded by alphabetical friends in the lunch line.

If there are people named Georgia and Virginia, why shouldn't there be an Idaho?

For the past few years, baby names that end in "a" for girls or "n" for boys have been wildly popular. But this year, names like Olivia, Ava, Ethan, and Logan will have to move over for more magical and mythical choices.

Idahoans can come up with some goodies!  Just look at any kindergarten class list, and high five yourself for stamping your kids with some unique, cool, and creative names. A new list is out, and please share your thoughts.  Are the quirkiest baby names in Idaho really that quirky?

We're only 4 months in to 2016, but the top baby names of they year (so far) have been released for the nation (Olivia for girls and Ezra for boys).  How does Idaho match up?
