2015's most popular boy's name has been announced.

Nameberry has released the list everyone loves to read. The most popular names for 2015 (so far, of course).

Usually when these lists come out, there isn’t a huge change.

Maybe number 3 in 2014, is now number 2.

But, so far this year, there has been two shake ups to the list created by Nameberry.

Princess Charlotte, Kate Middleton and Prince William's second born, has waved her royal, magical wand and given the "Charlotte-effect" to her very own name. Last year it was number 10...this year...number 1. Pretty impressive for a two-month-old.

In a huge nod to the power of literature, hovering around number 370 last year, the boy's name Atticus has elbowed his way to number 1. It's no coincidence the name soared up the charts with the release of Harper Lee's second book, Go Set a Watchman which portrays the lives of the characters from her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird.
