Which is why their latest list – based on an analysis of more than 23 million page views at Nameberry – is filled with a slew of options derived from royalty, literature, the Bible – and beyond. Company founders Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz have authored 10 bestselling books, including The Baby Name Bible and Cool Names for Babies, and suffice to say they’ve mastered the art (and science) of baby names.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with baby names.
