Charlotte and Noah top Pennsylvania's 2025 baby names, with 560 and 744 newborns apiece.
Charlotte's rise of one place puts her ahead of Sophia, who climbs two spots with 507 babies, while Olivia slips two to third. Amelia holds fourth without moving, and Emma's two-place dip leaves her fifth.
On the boys' side, Noah's 744 is the largest count on either list, and Liam stays second with 566. Theodore steps up one to third and Oliver gives back a place to fourth, but the real story is Cooper, up 31 spots to eighth with 402 babies — by far the biggest jump in either top ten. Henry, James and Michael all hold steady, while Lucas slides two to ninth.
The taste here leans toward sturdy classics on the boys' list — Henry, James, Benjamin, Michael — set against a girls' top ten that favors soft, vowel-rich names like Amelia, Isabella, Ava and Nora. Short, tidy picks such as Mia and Ava sit comfortably beside longer choices, giving Pennsylvania parents a top tier that mixes tradition with a little reinvention.
