How spread out were names in 2019?

The ten most popular girls' names went to 8.2% of the girls counted in 2019, and the top ten boys' names to 7.9% of the boys. In 1999, those shares were 10.7% for girls and 14.1% 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.
