Olivia and Liam remain America’s most popular baby names for the seventh year, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The new rankings marked Liam’s ninth consecutive year as the most popular name. Liam — an Irish form of William — first claimed the top spot in 2017 and has remained there ever since. Olivia, whose name derives from the Latin word for “olive tree,” joined Liam at No. 1 in 2019, ending Emma’s five-year streak as the most popular girls’ name.
Here’s how the top baby names stacked up, according to SSA’s latest data.

“Last year, America’s most popular baby names remained consistent with years past, with minimal shifts in the top 10 rankings. Charlotte climbed to second place among girls, ending Emma’s six-year run in the runner-up slot. A top-10 fixture for years, Ava dropped from the list entirely – replaced by Eliana, which debuted at number 10. On the boys’ side, the top four names – Liam, Noah, Oliver, and Theodore – held their places,” the SSA said.
The list comes as policymakers renew efforts to support mothers and families amid a plummeting, record-low birthrate.
On Mother’s Day, the White House launched a website to help expectant mothers locate pregnancy centers and learn about health and wellness, a move framed as a nod to the pro-life and “Make America Healthy Again” movements, The Daily Wire exclusively reported.
Moms.gov addresses “the needs of mothers and fathers who face difficult or unexpected pregnancies and [ensures] the wellbeing of mothers and the health of American families,” the White House said in a statement.
Finally a one-stop home for all the resources needed for expectant mothers including nutrition, pregnancy support, life saving care and more. ????????????

An expectant mother visiting the site can search for nearby pregnancy care centers or federally qualified health centers and quickly find the closest option. The website also features information on the Department of Health and Human Services’ new dietary guidelines, along with nutrition resources for expectant mothers and details on Trump Accounts and Trump RX offerings for those hoping to conceive.
America is not alone in falling birth rates. In England and Wales, the fertility rate fell to a record low of 1.41 in 2024, marking the third straight year of decline, according to The Independent. Across the pond, however, baby-name trends look a bit different, with Muhammad recently surpassing Noah as the most popular boys’ name.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
