The year is still quite fresh yet we are already tired of hearing some names. Some of these names sounded so cute and unique last year but they have become so common this year that they are slowly losing their sweetness.

If your baby already has these names, there is probably nothing you can do about it. But for the expectant moms, you can consider names that are not so common. You don’t want your baby sharing the same name with like 10 other kids in your neighborhood or even in class.

In one of the most popular Facebook groups, Pregnant and Nursing Moms Support Group, someone posed the question, “What’s the most common baby name you’ve heard so far?”  And as per the responses, we have compiled some of the most names mentioned by the member.

Since the news of his passing, and with the arrival of his body in the country, the mourning for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has been shaped by a blend of expressive national grief and deep-rooted cultural traditions. These customs, primarily from his Luo heritage, provide a framework for a communal expression of loss, honour, and farewell for a figure of his stature.

And one lesson we can probably learn is that you should not always rush to give your baby a trendy name. You can still get an old but very cute and unique name. Below are some names that topped the list:
