Top Baby Names For First Half Of 2015 With 'Atticus' Taking Top Spot For Boys

Top Baby Names For 2015 So Far Revealed

The most popular baby names for the first half of 2015 with an unusual number one spot for the boys.

Nameberry - the baby name website - has revealed Atticus was the most popular boys' name.

It coincides with the release of Harper Lee's second novel Go Set A Watchman, about the main characters from the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which featured lawyer Atticus Finch.

But it took 25 years for Atticus to be registered on the Social Security roster of US baby names, given to only nine boys in 1986, according to Yahoo Parenting.

Atticus didn't appear on the US top 1,000 baby names until 2004 at number 370, but now the name attracts the most searches by Nameberry's visitors in 2015 trumping Asher, the longtime number one.

Charlotte is the number one girls' name on the 2015 half-year count which is likely to have increased in popularity after the birth of Princess Charlotte.

To calculate popularity, Nameberry tallies the most-visited of the nearly 40 million views of their baby name pages since the beginning of 2015.
