Some of the most popular baby names of today were actually pretty uncommon just five years ago.
如今最流行的一些婴儿名字在五年前其实并不常见。
While some of these names were never trendy in past eras, others are tried-and-true classics that had fallen out of use before making a comeback.
其中一些名字在过去从未流行过，而另一些则是久经考验的经典之作，在再度流行之前就不再使用了。
Is your baby's name on this list?
