5The Hawaiian name Malia jumped 55 spots last year to make the top 200 names, where it hasn't been since 2009, and it's no mystery why. Former First Daughter Malia Obama brought the name into the spotlight when her dad took office in 2008. And now she's a Harvard student, budding entertainment industry titan, and fashionable young person - a great role model to name a baby after.
While Sasha was already a more common name before the Obamas entered the White House, it had it's biggest jump between 2008 and 2009 - the name moved 99 spots to #261. It's been trending downward quickly ever since, ranking in the 500s over the past few years. Though, the name has moved up nine spots since 2015 to #533.
