Ailany leads Maryland’s 2025 girls list with 225 births, just ahead of Charlotte (222) and Olivia (218).
Ailany’s 47-place climb is the standout at the top, where Charlotte holds steady right behind and Mia and Sophia stay close. The upper ranks blend familiar classics such as Charlotte, Olivia, Emma and Elizabeth with softer modern favorites like Eliana and Amelia.
Further down, Arya made the largest leap, up 147 places, while Brooklyn added 79 and Josie 74. Their rise fits a list that keeps room for short, surname-style and vintage-leaning choices alongside longtime favorites.
At the other end, Mackenzie slid 33 places, Luna dropped 26 and Skylar fell 23. That churn leaves Maryland’s 2025 girls list feeling both familiar and restless, with nature names, unisex picks and polished classics all sharing space.
