See North Dakota’s most popular baby boy names in 2024—Oliver leads, with Henry, Theodore, Brooks, and a tie at #5 for Liam and Maverick.
Oliver (56) holds #1, followed by Henry (49) and Theodore (45). Brooks lands at #4. Liam and Maverick share #5 with 42 each. Owen (#6) and Hudson (#7) precede a tie at #8 for Asher and Noah; Elijah (#9) and Beau (#10) complete the top ten.
North Dakota favorites blend rugged, modern picks with timeless classics: Brooks, Maverick, Walker, Stetson, Colter, Ryker, and Nash sit alongside William, James, Joseph, Thomas, and Benjamin. Biblical staples—Elijah, Levi, Luke, Daniel, Isaiah, Micah, and Ezra—remain strong, while short, punchy choices like Leo, Theo, Beau, and Milo are widely loved.
Notable climbers within this year’s popular rankings include Joseph (+13), Easton (+12), Roman (+12), Elliot (+11), Declan (+10), Andrew (+9), and both Levi and Walker (+8). Some mainstays dipped but remain well used, such as Wesley (-12), Grayson (-12), Jack (-9), Bennett (-9), Rhett (-8), James (-8), and Jackson (-8). Beyond the very top, vintage revivals (Arthur, August, Otto, Jasper), surname-style picks (Cooper, Carter, Bennett, Hudson), and outdoorsy standouts (Sawyer, Ryder, Dawson, Weston, Tucker) show the range of popular choices across the state in 2024.
