The top 10 names for boys in 2024 include Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore, James, Henry, Mateo, Elijah, Lucas, and William. For girls, the leading names are Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Charlotte, Mia, Sophia, Isabella, Evelyn, Ava, and Sofia. The rankings reflect naming data from new Social Security card applications processed throughout the year.
Each year, the Social Security Administration releases its list of the 1,000 most popular names ahead of Mother’s Day, drawn from information collected at the time of a child’s birth. Most parents request a Social Security number for their child during their hospital stay, making SSA data the primary national source for tracking baby name trends.
