Liam and Olivia topped the Social Security Administration’s list of most popular names for babies for 2025 once again for the seventh consecutive year, with Noah and Oliver following closely behind in popularity for boys and Charlotte and Emma for girls.
The Social Security Administration said America’s most popular baby names for 2025 “remained consistent with years past with minimal shifts in the top 10 rankings.” For example, among girl names, Charlotte climbed up to the second spot, ending Emma’s six-year run as the runner-up. Ava dropped from the list entirely after being in the top 10 for years, while Eliana debuted at number 10.
On the boys’ side, the four names – Liam, Noah, Oliver, and Theodore – remained the same.
“The baby names are drawn from Social Security card applications submitted at birth,” SSA noted. Social Security has been compiling the list of popular names since 1997, with its full database allowing parents and users to search name popularity by year going back to 1880 as well as by state.
Here’s a look at 2025 baby names.

The administration’s list of the 1,000 most popular baby names is released each year in honor of Mother’s Day. The full list is available on SSA’s website here.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the exceptional mothers who inspire us and guide future generations,†Social Security Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano said in a statement. “As Mother’s Day draws closer, I find myself reflecting on the unwavering care, courage, and commitment my own mother instilled in my siblings and me as the glue that held our family together.â€

Beyond the top 10, other names which noted a surge in popularity was Kasai, meaning “fire†in Japanese and Swahili, among boys, which jumped up 1,108 positions to enter the top 1,000 for the first time, landing at 639. For girls, Klarity, a contemporary spelling of “clarity†evoking brightness and light, was top choice.
