Since being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker has become one of the most recognizable names in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. If your spidey sense is tingling when you read this name, it may be one you should consider for your newborn.
While Peter is a classic name that never seems to go out of style, the name Parker ranked even higher on the list of popular baby boy names in 2022. In the last decade, nearly 50,000 American boys have been named Parker, according to the Social Security Administration.
If you're expecting a baby girl instead, don't nix the name just yet. In 1980, Parker became extremely popular with girls. By 2021, Parker topped the list as one of the top 300 most popular names for American girls, according to The Bump. It's really no surprise that the name has climbed to incredible heights. In early 2022, Zavvi found that Spider-Man is the world wide web's most searched superhero.
