Olivia and Liam continue to be the most popular baby names in the United States, each topping the Social Security Administration’s annual rankings for the seventh year in a row. The SSA compiles the list based on baby names reported through its records and tracks usage by state and nationwide for girls and boys. The SSA also provides historical data, with name records extending back to 1880. Multiple outlets report that Olivia ranks first among girls and Liam ranks first among boys in the latest year of the SSA’s release. The figures reflect the names chosen by parents in the given year rather than changes in name popularity from previous generations. The SSA’s annual lists are widely used as a reference for trends in naming across the U.S., and they serve as a consistent long-term dataset for comparing which names lead and how preferences evolve over time.
