Olivia and Liam Top US Baby Names for 2025 Seventh Year

Olivia and Liam topped the list of the most popular baby names in the United States for babies born in 2025, marking the seventh consecutive year each name has held the No. 1 spot for girls and boys.

The Social Security Administration released the annual rankings on Friday, drawing from applications for Social Security cards submitted at birth. The data reflects naming trends among the 3.6 million babies born in the U.S. last year, a slight decline from 3.61 million in 2024. The agency has tracked popular names by state since 1880, providing a searchable database on its website that reveals shifts influenced by cultural and demographic patterns.

Among girls, Olivia remained in first place, followed by Charlotte, which rose to second and ended Emma's six-year hold on that position. Emma stayed at third. The rest of the top 10 included Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Evelyn, Sofia and newcomer Eliana, which entered at 10th after longtime top-10 name Ava fell off the list.

The boys' top 10 showed greater stability, with Liam, Noah, Oliver and Theodore retaining the first four spots. They were followed by Henry, James, Elijah, Mateo, William and Lucas.
