Ludwig, a filter that offers the minimalist look, was the second most popular choice with 42 percent, followed by Amaro with 26 percent, Reyes with 10 percent, Hudson with 4 percent and Kelvin with 3 percent share.
Instagram-inspired names dominated the list of baby girls as well with Juno at the top, reaping 30 percent popularity. Valencia grabbed the second spot with 26 percent and Willow sat on the third position with 13 percent share on girls’ name list.
