Theodore holds Michigan's top spot for boys in 2025 with 490 babies, just ahead of Noah's 478.
The classics are still doing the heavy lifting near the top: Oliver and Henry stay third and fourth, James climbed four places to fifth, and Jack, Levi and William each gained ground.
Malachi made the biggest leap on the list, rising 63 places to 93rd, with Milo not far behind at 33 spots to 87th. Andrew, Rowan, Silas and Arthur also charged upward, giving the upper half a noticeably vintage, soft-sounding streak.
Not every name moved the right way — Aiden fell 30 places to 70th and Cameron 29 to 73rd. Elsewhere the list shows off its range, from surname-style picks like Brooks, Walker and Harrison to short, punchy choices such as Leo, Theo and Jace.
