Noah claimed the top spot in Tennessee in 2025 with 444 boys, ahead of Liam (425) and Oliver (411) at the front of the state's list.
Around those leaders, the list leans toward surname-style picks and Western flavor. Hudson lands in the top ten, while Walker, Cooper, Bennett, Barrett, Tucker and Shepherd all hold places in the top 100. Theodore and Hudson finished deadlocked at 323 births apiece, a rare tie near the top.
Vintage revivals keep a steady foothold too, with Ezra, Silas and Arthur sitting alongside shorter staples like Jack, Levi, Luke and Jace.
The biggest movers were Eithan, up 167 places to 144 births, Arthur (+65) and Colter (+61). On the other side, Easton fell 25 spots, Logan 23 and Alexander 21.
