Charlotte and Noah sit atop Tennessee's 2025 baby name list, with 423 and 444 births.
Charlotte leads a girls' group of Amelia, Olivia and Emma, a run of familiar classics. Sophia climbs six places with 244 births, and Willow's four-place gain brings her into the leaders at 197.
Noah holds the boys' lead ahead of Liam and Oliver, with James and Henry close behind. Theodore rises five spots into a seventh-place tie with Hudson, both at 323 births, while William falls three places and John two.
Across both lists, enduring classics dominate—Charlotte, Elizabeth, James, Henry—while vintage-revival choices like Eleanor and Theodore, nature name Willow and surname-style Hudson add variety. Short, familiar names such as Noah, Emma and John remain steady anchors.
