Most popular baby names of 2013

In 2013, Social Security card applications recorded 1,754,746 girls and 1,891,581 boys born in the US under names given to at least five babies of the same sex. That covers 19,279 distinct girls’ names and 14,070 boys’ names.

The most common names were Sophia (21,255 girls) and Noah (18,291 boys). The ten most common girls’ names together account for 8.7% of recorded girls, and the top ten boys’ names for 8.7% of boys. Compared with 2012, 11,672 fewer babies were recorded in total.

Against the top 100 of 2012, 7 girls’ names and 4 boys’ names in 2013 are newcomers (girls: Sadie, Penelope, Mila; boys: Jase, Jaxson, Lincoln). Of these names, 57 of the 100 girls’ names and 61 of the 100 boys’ names are still in the top 100 in 2025.

Ranks follow SSA’s order: most births first, with ties listed alphabetically. Each sparkline shows the name’s full history from 1880 to 2025, so you can see whether a 2013 favourite was rising, at its peak or already fading.
