Alabama’s 2025 boys list opens with a familiar trio: John, William and James lead the way at 343, 331 and 292 babies.
The strongest climb belongs to Eithan, which jumps 216 places, while Thiago rises 86. Harrison gains 45 spots and Archer 50, adding fresh movement near the middle of the pack.
Kingston slips 44 places, Bryson 43 and Jaxon 39, a reminder that familiar-sounding choices can lose ground fast.
Style-wise, the list blends enduring classics like Henry and Thomas with surname-style picks such as Hudson, Cooper, Walker and Stetson, plus short, crisp names like Jack, Luke, Leo and Beau.
