20 Names You’ll Probably See In Your Kid’s Kindergarten Class this Year
It's that time of year again when parents are either really excited or nervous, and kids are equally so. It's back-to-school time, and if you've had enough of your kids being home during summer break, you're probably happy to get back to a regular routine.
Many of you are about to send your baby to kindergarten, and it's a bowl of mixed emotions. You're excited to have a little more space away from the kids, but at the same time, it's emotional to see them going out into the world. You may be worried about how they're going to like it — if they're going to make a lot of friends — all while you try to grasp where the past five years have gone.
It feels like just yesterday when you were choosing the name for your new baby and going through those popular baby lists to find out if your choice is the perfect one for your family. That's one thing you'll be seeing more of now that your little one is starting kindergarten — the power of those popular names.
Check out this list of the top 20 baby names from five years ago, and I bet you'll see more than a few on your kindergartener's class list this year.
