Noah leads Rhode Island's 2025 boys list with 67 babies, just ahead of Liam at 64.
Oliver follows in third with 56, and Theodore's 52 holds fourth, while Lucas and Benjamin deadlock at sixth with 45 apiece. The upper ranks lean on durable classics — Liam, Oliver, Theodore, Henry, James — names that have stayed in circulation for generations, with a few softer modern picks like Luca slipping in among them.
The sharpest climbs come from further down: Vincent jumps 149 places, Nicholas 104, George 94 and Cooper 77. Surname-style picks are well represented in that group, with Bennett, Maxwell and Hudson all gaining ground, and short, punchy names such as Kai, Finn, Nico and Theo are finding room too.
Not everything moved up. Gabriel slides 50 places, Maverick 42 and Adrian 35, while Alexander, Joseph and David also give up ground. The result is a list that keeps its traditional anchors at the top but shuffles energetically beneath them.
