The most exciting time of year (next to Christmas) is here! We get to find out the most popular baby names of 2018.

The Social Security Administration announced the top 10 baby names of 2018 on Friday because according to them, they're "with you since day one." Kind of creepy if you ask us, but OK.

But since most people get a social security card at birth, the SSA is one of the best sources for measuring a name's popularity.

The top three baby names for both boys and girls remained unchanged from 2017, and many of the same names made the top 10 lists again.

New for the boys is Lucas, while Jacob got knocked out of the top 10. New for the girls is Harper, knocking out Abigail.

Here is the top 10 for boys and girls for 2018.
