What are the hottest baby names of 2022? Well, it’s tricky. The Social Security Administration releases their baby naming data for any given year an entire year later. That means that it can be difficult to get a snapshot of the standing of many baby names landing on birth certificates in a given year. But, thankfully, we have big baby name databases like BabyNames.com and Nameberry to turn to get a better understanding of the most viewed appellations in a year. Each site sees millions of visitors each month making them a good measure of how names are faring as the year unfolds.

So, it’s not completely scientific but those of us who are crazy about baby names can get a rough idea of the hottest name trends and baby names given in 2022. Now many of the favorites that you know and love will also appear as names like Liam, Oliver, Noah, Olivia, Emma, and Charlotte are still holding strong. We’ll share the insights collected by the two baby name databases so you know what hot names are shaping this year’s naming trends. We will start with names for girls before ending with baby names for boys.

Nature Baby Names for Boys – Trees

Nature Baby Names for Boys – Even More Trees

  • Cedar– Cedar comes from Latin roots and indeed means “cedar tree.”
  • Leif– Scandinavian name Leif actually means “heir” but it’s pronounced just like the word leaf.
  • Birch– Birch refers to the tree but it’s an established name that means “dweller in the birch forest.”
  • Branch– Of all the nature names on this list, we imagine that Branch might be the most polarizing. We think it works, but if it seems like to much of a stretch, don’t!
  • Banyan– The name of a tropical Indian fig tree, Banyan translates to mean “the God tree.”

Nature Baby Names for Boys – Minerals, Stone, and Rocks

Nature Baby Names for Boys – Topographic and Landscape-Inspired Appellations

Nature Baby Names for Boys – More Landscapes & Topographic Names

  • Bay– Bay has Latin origins and means “berry,” so this one is a two-for-one in that it’s a botanical name and a name for a body of water.
  • Lake– Thanks to its proximity to Blake, Lake works as an excellent alternative that highlights nature.
  • Flint– An English topographic name, Flint means “born near a crop of Flint.” This name was once wildly popular in the 1960s.
  • Pike– Yes, Pike is a fish, but it’s also the name of Pike’s Peak which was so named by Zebulon Pike.
  • Everest– Not our favorite of the nature names on this list, but one that’s been getting used far more often these days. The name of the world’s tallest mountain.
