American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands: 2025 opens with Emma and Olivia sharing the girls' lead and Liam atop the boys.
Emma and Olivia each have six babies in the 2025 girls' list, and Olivia rose four places. Amara, Eliana, Iris, Isabella and Sophia sit right behind at five babies apiece, mixing enduring classics with shorter, fresher picks.
Liam leads the boys with 11 babies and a 17-place climb, while Gabriel, Ezekiel and Elijah follow at nine each. Noah, at eight, slips four places; Zayden jumps 11 places, and Zion and Michael each gain nine.
With such small counts, ties shape both lists, and a single baby can move a name several spots. The overall feel is a blend of steady classics — Emma, Olivia, Isabella, Sophia, Gabriel, Elijah — and fresher choices such as Amara, Zayden and Zion.
