How spread out were names in 2013?
The ten most popular girls' names went to 8.7% of the girls counted in 2013, and the top ten boys' names to 8.7% of the boys. In 1993, those shares were 13.3% for girls and 16.7% for boys.
Source: Social Security Administration, national baby name data, data through 2025. Names given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year aren't published, so totals are a little lower than actual births.
