In 2024, Social Security card applications recorded 1,620,190 girls and 1,722,888 boys born in the US under names given to at least five babies of the same sex. That covers 17,726 distinct girls’ names and 14,294 boys’ names.

The most common names were Olivia (14,772 girls) and Liam (22,252 boys). The ten most common girls’ names together account for 7.1% of recorded girls, and the top ten boys’ names for 8.0% of boys. Compared with 2023, 27,920 more babies were recorded in total.

Against the top 100 of 2023, 6 girls’ names and 3 boys’ names in 2024 are newcomers (girls: Ayla, Daisy, Millie; boys: August, Myles, Adam). Of these names, 95 of the 100 girls’ names and 94 of the 100 boys’ names are still in the top 100 in 2025.
