“Logan” was the only new addition to any of the three lists since 2016, replacing “Michael” as the fourth most common boy’s name. However, some shifting occurred over the past year. “Olivia” was last year’s No. 1 baby girl name, but “Emma” jumped from fourth place to take the top spot. “Liam” and “Noah” traded spaces, while “Mason” was knocked down from spot No. 3 to fifth place.

Parents-to-be can use these lists to sort by sex or national origin or can consult the Top 100 Baby Names list to see the most popular all together. Choosing your baby’s name is both fun and a big responsibility. Consulting a list can help spark your imagination or lead you to the perfect moniker for your child.

We want to make sure new parents have the most up-to-date information possible, so our list – one of the largest baby names databases available today – is updated daily.
