US baby names · the 2020s

Most popular baby names of the 2020s

These are the most given US names of the 2020s, adding up Social Security counts for each year from 2020 to 2025 (the decade is still in progress: SSA has published years through 2025). Across those years SSA recorded 9,729,580 girls and 10,363,106 boys under names given to five or more babies.

Olivia led the girls with 95,853 babies, followed by Emma, Charlotte and Amelia. For boys, Liam came first with 124,842, ahead of Noah, Oliver and James.

Against the top 100 of the 2010s, 26 girls’ names and 23 boys’ names in the 2020s are newcomers (girls: Eliana, Isla, Nova; boys: Ezra, Luca, Maverick). Of these names, 86 of the 100 girls’ names and 88 of the 100 boys’ names are still in the top 100 in 2025.

A decade total favours names that were steady for ten years over a single-year spike, so a list here can differ from any one year’s top 100. The sparklines show each name before and after the 2020s.
