Liam tops the 2025 boys' list across American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands with 11 babies.
Those 11 births are the only double-digit total here, with Elijah, Ezekiel and Gabriel tied just behind at nine. Noah stands alone at eight, and from there the field flattens into a crowded group at five — Michael, Malakai, Logan, Levi, Leon, Leo, Kai, John, Jayden, Felix and Zion all share ninth place.
Liam also made the biggest jump, up 17 places, with Zayden close behind at plus-11 and Michael, Levi, Leon and Zion each gaining nine. Noah and John moved the other way, dropping four spots apiece.
The result is a mix of long-standing favorites like Gabriel, Michael and John, short crisp choices such as Leo, Kai and Leon, and modern-sounding Zayden and Jayden alongside surname-style Ryan and Logan. With totals this tight, a handful of births separates the top of the list from the middle.
