    Important Baby names are becoming popular every year

    The data from nameberry.com that they’ve discovered the names that are continually rising up the ranks, ready to take out some top spots in the next few years. 
    After poring over the list of 1000 most popular baby names in the US since 2001, the team found the names that have been consistently becoming more popular, finding how many places each one has moved up on average each year. Each name was then given a 'Hotness Quotient' based on that average; for example, as the name Finn has raised an average of 46 places each year since 2001, its Hotness Quotient is 46.
    Here are the 10 girls' and 10 boys' names more and more parents are falling in love with.

    Selection of inspiration and category Names


    Baby name is a deal that will have this name his or her entire life


    TRADITIONAL NAMES
    The traditional way to find a baby name – by using a baby book, or its online equivalent – is probably one of the easiest ways to find lists of traditional baby names.  That way you can consider what you like, and what goes with your surname and find the perfect name for your little one. 

    MIDDLE NAMES
    If you love the idea of a more unusual or unique name but don’t want it to be your child’s first name, consider a traditional first name with a more contemporary or unique middle name.  That way you get the best of both worlds

    CELEBRITY TRENDS
    There’s no getting away from it, celebrities are everywhere and, knowingly or unknowingly, we’re often influenced by them.  Many names given by celebrities to their children grow in popularity on the baby name lists as a result. 


    FILM OR LITERARY NAMES
    Naming babies after a character from a movie or book has always been a popular choice and the name will have a special meaning for you as well.  However if you don’t like the idea of your baby having a common name, be wary of choosing something which is popular at the moment as others will likely do the same.  For example, many names from Twilight surged in popularity right after the movies were released.

    FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS
    Naming your child after a close friend or family member is a great idea and many people choose to do this because it gives their baby’s name an extra special meaning.  You could choose to name your son after your favorite grandfather, thus honoring his memory after he has passed away.  Now that the internet makes it so much easier, why not researches your family history?  You might find an ancestor from years before with a name you love, that could inspire your own choice of baby name.

    Which word mostly used in 2015? The word emoji

    The meaning
    'Face with Tears of Joy'
    The word emoji
    "Although emoji have been a staple of texting teens for some time, emoji culture exploded into the global mainstream over the past year," the Oxford Dictionaries press release reads.
    "Emoji have come to embody a core aspect of living in a digital world that is visually driven, emotionally expressive, and obsessively immediate."

    Oxford Dictionaries seems to think so. For the first time, the Word of the Year is not even a word. It's a pictograph: an emoji officially called 'Face with Tears of Joy'.
    "There were other strong contenders from a range of fields, outlined below, but ('Face with Tears of Joy emoji) was chosen as the 'word' that best reflected the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015," according to the Oxford Dictionary blog.
    How did Face with Tears of Joy emerge victorious, defeating such formidable contenders as they, lumbersexual and refugee in the pitched battle to embody the year that was?

    It was the world's most used emoji in 2015, according to figures compiled by Oxford University Press and mobile technology firm SwiftKey.
    In 2015 it made up 20 per cent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 per cent of those used in the US, the research found.

    As for the word emoji – a Japanese loanword derived from e "picture" + moji "letter, character" – it has appeared in English since 1997. But data from the Oxford Dictionaries Corpus shows use of the word more than trebled in 2015, compared with 2014.
