The District of Columbia's 2025 boy-name list is led by Noah, with Theodore close behind and Liam and Henry tied for third.
Noah leads with 58 babies, Theodore follows at 53, and Liam and Henry tie at 49, with William next at 43. That puts Noah ahead of a tight cluster of familiar favorites near the top.
The biggest moves came further down: Felix climbed 118 places, Parker jumped 96, and Cameron dropped 46. Peter's 54-place rise and Michael's 31-place fall show how much churn sits beneath the top names.
The mix leans on enduring classics like Henry and William, vintage-sounding revivals such as Theodore and Charles, and short picks like Leo, Max and Theo. Surname-style choices like Graham and Bennett sit alongside unisex picks such as Shiloh and Amari.
