Noah and Olivia topped the list of most popular names for babies for 2025 once again, with Liam and Oliver following closely behind in popularity for boys and Amelia and Sophie for girls, new data by BabyCenter found.
While the most popular name for both genders remained the same as last year, BabyCenter, in a news release on Nov. 5, noted "shakeups in the top 10 on both sides." For example, Eliana and Aurora entered the Top 10 names for girls at number 7 and 9, respectively, bumping out Ava and Luna, which the digital parenting resource said are a "celestial favorite."
On the boys’ side, Luca entered the Top 10, pushing Leo out.
"The top 100 also got a refresh," BabyCenter said with seven new girl names, including Juniper, Oaklynn, Sienna and Eloise, bringing "a mix of cottagecore, vintage, and modern flair" to the list. Meanwhile, for boys, names like Malachi, Ali and Arthur entered the top 100, signaling "a turn toward strong classics with spiritual and ancient roots," according to the organization.
BabyCenter, which has been publishing reports on baby names since 2004, said the "insights come from BabyCenter's proprietary name data, sourced from more than 350,000 babies born in 2025 to parents registered on the BabyCenter app."
