When it comes to human names, the most popular baby name for 2025 for girls is Olivia and for boys is Noah, according to the Baby Center.

For Georgia, the pick is Climax, which is located southern part of Georgia. Climax is quite a trek from Augusta, by the way. It's about a five hour drive away, which isn't ideal for visiting, but .
