Charlotte leads Montana's 2025 girls list with 46 babies, while Oliver tops the boys with 62.
Among the girls, Lucy made the biggest jump near the top, climbing 35 places with 41 babies, and Violet rose 27 spots with 36. Evelyn slipped four places, a reminder that even familiar favorites can shift. The list mixes soft vintage revivals like Lucy and Violet with steady classics such as Charlotte, Amelia, Nora and Sophia.
On the boys' side, Weston jumped 14 places with 43 babies, Waylon rose five, and Liam fell four with 39. Oliver, Henry, William and Theodore keep the classic core strong, while Weston, Waylon, Cooper and Hudson give the list a surname-and-ranch feel.
With counts in the dozens, Montana's 2025 rankings are tight, so a small change in births can move a name several spots. That makes the mix feel both steady and surprising: familiar classics at the top, vintage and Western-leaning choices close behind.
