Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The top baby names of 2024 may look familiar
What names are popular for newborn babies in the US? About three decades
ago, in the 1990s, when their parents were likely born, Jessica, Ashley, and
Emily were the top three names for girls, and Michael, Christopher, and Matthew
were the top three names for boys. When their parents were likely born in the
1960s, Lia, Mary, and Susan were the most popular girls’ names, and Michael,
David, and John were the top three names for boys. Last year, Olivia, Emma, and
Amelia were the top three girls’ names, and Liam, Noah, and Oliver were the top
three boys’ names. You can see that none of these names are seen in other
generations. Interestingly, the popularity of these names has been consistent. Olivia
for girls and Liam for boys have been at the top of the list for the last five
years, and other top names have been on the top list, too. As a matter of fact,
the most popular girls’ name by sound is Sophia/Sofia, which were ranked number
6th and 10th, respectively. Combined, Sophia/Sofia
outnumbers Olivia by a substantial margin.
