Olivia and Liam finish 2025 on top of the U.S. lists, and Liam's 20,818 babies make his the most-given name in the country this year.
On the girls' side, Olivia holds No. 1 with 13,544 babies, while Charlotte's two-place climb carries her to second with 13,400 and nudges Emma and Amelia down a spot each. The name that moves most is Eliana, up eight places into 10th with 8,191 — her first appearance in the top ten.
The boys' top four held their ground exactly: Liam, Noah, Oliver and Theodore. Below them the ten shuffled gently, with Henry rising to 5th and James slipping to 6th, while Elijah and William each gained a place and Mateo and Lucas each gave one back.
Read together, the two lists lean on names that have simply stayed: Olivia, Emma, James and William are old fixtures, and Theodore and Henry carry a vintage, grandfatherly charm. Alongside them sit the near-twin Sofia and Sophia, soft vowel-heavy picks like Amelia and Eliana, and short, plain-standing choices such as Mia. Every state's version of this list is open from this page, so you can see how the same year plays out closer to home.
