Charlotte and Oliver each welcomed 35 babies in Vermont in 2025, giving the state a matching pair of leaders.
Charlotte holds the top spot on the girls' side, with Evelyn close behind at 27 and climbing 16 places to second. The bigger stories sit further down: Sophia jumped 36 spots into a tie for fourth with 22 babies, and Ava made the list's largest leap of all, rising 62 places to seventh with 17. Aurora also gained ground, while Violet, Harper and Amelia each slipped a few spots.
For boys, Theodore's 34 babies put him right on Oliver's heels, and Cooper surged 54 places into fourth with 26. Weston climbed 15 spots into a tie for seventh, while Noah eased back five to ninth. Henry, Jack and James keep the boys' top ten looking steady and traditional.
Read together, the two lists lean on enduring classics like Charlotte, Eleanor, Henry and James, alongside vintage revivals such as Evelyn and Theodore. Surname-style picks carry real weight on the boys' side, with Cooper, Hudson and Weston all rising, and short, tidy names like Jack and Nora appear on both lists.
