The Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names for 2025, and Olivia and Liam are the top names for the SEVENTH year in a row. (Boring!)
The 10 most popular girl names in 2025 were . . .
1. Olivia
2. Charlotte . . . (Emma had been holding down the #2 spot for six years.)
3. Emma
4. Amelia
5. Sophia
6. Mia
7. Isabella
8. Evelyn
9. Sofia
10. Eliana
And the 10 most popular boy names in 2025 were . . .
1. Liam
2. Noah
3. Oliver
4. Theodore . . . (The top four boy names were exactly the same last year.)
5. Henry
6. James
7. Elijah
8. Mateo
9. William
10. Lucas
And one of the fastest-rising names for boys is “Kasai” . . . which means “fire” in Japanese and Swahili. And “Klarity” for girls. Both names are spelled with a “K”.
The Social Security Administration says about 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2025.
