How spread out were names in 2024?
The ten most popular girls' names went to 7.1% of the girls counted in 2024, and the top ten boys' names to 8% of the boys. In 2004, those shares were 9.3% for girls and 11.4% 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.
