The Top 100 Baby Names In America For Boys And Girls
Olivia and Liam are America’s most popular baby names in 2022.
New statistics about the most popular baby names in America have been released and once again, the most popular names for babies born in the United States are Liam and Olivia.
Liam has been at the top of the boy’s list for six years in a row, and Olivia has been the top choice for girls for four years.
How Are The Popular Baby Names In America Determined?
The annual baby name stats are determined by the American Social Security Administration (SSA) data based on applications for Social Security cards.
In 2022 Social Security numbers were recorded for 3,648,019 new babies. There were more male births registered (1,863,582) than female births (1,784,437).
In the UK, baby name stats are compiled by the Office Of National Statistics (ONS) from first names recorded when live births are registered.
How Are The Top Ten Names Different In the UK And The US?
When we compare the new American baby name stats to the latest stats we have for baby names in the UK (the stats for 2021 released in October of 2022) there are some big differences, including at top of the boy’s name list.
In the US, Liam has been at the top of the boy’s list for six years in a row, while Noah is currently the most popular name for boys in the UK, overtaking the previous name, Oliver.
The names Liam, James, Elijah, William, Lucas, Benjamin, and Theodore are all in the top ten names in the US but lower down the UK list.
George, Arthur, Muhammad, Leo, Harry, Oscar, Archie, Henry all head up the UK list but are lower down the US one.
While Olivia is the top choice for girls in both countries, Freya, Florence, and Willow are present in the UK list but absent in the US list. Luna, Evelyn, and Emma are all present in the US top list but absent in the top ten UK list.
