Have you ever met someone named "Matt" and said, "Wow...what a beautiful name"? That's not a knock on Matts. I ask because it seriously might be the MOST beautiful name in the English language...
A baby website called My1stYears.com took 400 of the most popular baby names in the U.S., and had a linguistics expert whittle it down to the top 50 for boys and girls. But they didn't rank them yet.
To do that, they used data from a study in 2018 that looked at which types of sounds we find the most beautiful or pleasing.
According to the results, the most beautiful name for a boy is "Matthew" ...and for girls, it's "Sophia."
The top ten for boys are:
- Matthew
- Julian
- William
- Isaiah
- Leo
- Levi
- Joseph
- Theo
- Isaac
- Samuel
The top ten for girls are:
- Sophia
- Zoe
- Everly
- Sophie
- Riley
- Ivy
- Paisley
- Willow
- Ellie
- Emily
