Noah tops Alaska's 2025 list of popular boys' names with 46 babies, just ahead of Theodore at 45 and Henry at 44.
The top of the list is a tight cluster of enduring classics: Oliver follows at 41 and James at 39, and William climbs 14 places to land sixth with 36 babies. It's the kind of top ten where old favorites hold their ground rather than give way to newcomers — Elijah, Levi and Elias all sit close behind.
Lower down, the biggest moves belong to bolder, more Western-sounding picks. Colter leaps 92 places to rank 35 with 16 babies, Easton climbs 77, Zion gains 68 and Colton rises 64 to reach 13th with 27. Surname-style choices and short, punchy names show up throughout this part of the list.
A few familiar names slid the other way: Robert fell 73 places, Kai dropped 53, Wesley 50 and Arlo 45. Even with those drops, each still appears among Alaska's popular boys' names for 2025 — at this scale, a handful of babies is enough to reshape a ranking.
