Every year, Babycenter reveals the top names for new babies in the preceding year. How they do this is a bit of a mystery, since the definitive list from the Social Security Administration won't be available until well into the new year. The top 10 baby names (girls on the left, boys on the right) for 2024 are:
1 Olivia Noah
2 Amelia Liam
3 Emma Oliver
4 Sophia Elijah
5 Charlotte Mateo
6 Isabella Lucas
7 Ava Levi
8 Mia Ezra
9 Ellie Asher
10 Luna Leo
It may appear that the list is the same as its been for the past five or ten years, but there are some changes to the top ten, as Mental Floss explains. They also point out that Luna, number ten for girls, is also the most popular name for dogs and cats. If you are looking for a name that's not so common, but still popular, you might want to check out the full list of the top 100 names for both boys and girls at Babycenter. You might be pleased to see that John is still there at #48, and while Mary is not in the top 100, Maria is holding on at #85.
