Most Popular Baby Names of 1999

The 50 Most Popular Baby Names From 1999 Will Give You the Ultimate ’90s Nostalgia

/ Parenting /

The 1990s are back, and they aren’t going away anytime soon. Let’s take a brief trip back in time. The year is 1999. Exactly 20 years ago. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera had just burst onto the music scene. The Matrix hit theaters and melted minds across the globe. Friends was at the peak of its popularity during its initial network run. The look du jour involved basically anything with low-rise jeans and a crop top. With trends tending to be circular, it should come as no surprise that what was popular in 1999 is now popular again in 2019. Millennials have already lived through various ’70s and ’80s revivals, but the ’90s are now far enough in the past that even that decade is having another moment. ’90s fashion is back on the runway, ’90s-sounding music is a constant on radio, and everyone was very excited about the 20th anniversary of 10 Things I Hate About You a few weeks ago. Thus, the ’90s are back, and, honestly, we aren’t complaining. The Social Security Administration keeps a database of the most popular U.S. baby names going all the way back to 1880.

Mom Denied Entry to Ariana Grande Concert

Mom Barred from Entering Ariana Grande Concert Because She Had a Breast Pump

Nothing comes easy for breastfeeding moms. Kate Aulette was excited to see Ariana Grande perform on the Sweetener World Tour at the Little Ceasar’s Arena in Detroit on April 6. As the mother of a seven-month-old baby girl, Kate knew that bringing her breast pump to the venue might be a problem, especially considering the heightened security restrictions put in place following the Manchester Arena bombing at Grande’s concert in 2017. That’s why Kate called the venue ahead of time to confirm that she could bring her breast pump. They told her it qualified as a medical device and that she shouldn’t have any trouble bringing it inside. But when Kate got to the venue, things didn’t work out the way she was told they would. Read the post detailing her unfortunate experience below. Kate’s Story “I explain that my bag is a breast pump and I start emptying it out for them to search, the security guard says nope you can’t come in with that,” she writes. “I explained that I called ahead and was told this an approved medical item and would not have any issues, they search everything, all my parts, and then proceed to tell me
