Most popular baby names of 2015

In 2015, Social Security card applications recorded 1,785,098 girls and 1,916,743 boys born in the US under names given to at least five babies of the same sex. That covers 19,130 distinct girls’ names and 14,059 boys’ names.

The most common names were Emma (20,487 girls) and Noah (19,680 boys). The ten most common girls’ names together account for 8.4% of recorded girls, and the top ten boys’ names for 8.3% of boys. Compared with 2014, 5,385 fewer babies were recorded in total.

Against the top 100 of 2014, 6 girls’ names and 5 boys’ names in 2015 are newcomers (girls: Hazel, Aurora, Cora; boys: Mateo, Ezra, Sawyer). Of these names, 63 of the 100 girls’ names and 67 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 2015 favourite was rising, at its peak or already fading.
