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.
