The Social Security Administration recently released the most popular baby names 2024. The information that is used to compile this list is from all the names from Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States in 2024. From Liam (which has been at the top of the list for 8 years now!) and Olivia (in the top spot for 6 years!) to the baby names William and Sofia, you can check out below what the 10 most popular given names were for newborn babies in 2024.
It’s apparent that the name Liam is still just as popular for boys as it’s been in most recent years and still staying in the number one most popular name spot in 2024. No changes there! Benjamin dropped off the list and was replaced with newcomer baby boy name Mateo.
What is interesting is that the baby girl name Sophia makes the list with 2 different spellings: Sophia in the number 6 most popular girl name and Sofia as the number 10 name. Now that is a very popular baby name!
