Olivia and Liam are topping Social Security’s annual list of America’s most popular baby names for the seventh straight year. The newly released rankings for 2025 are based on Social Security card applications at birth, and the data shows few changes in the top ten. Liam, Noah, Oliver and Theodore held steady as the top four boy names while Amelia, Sophia, Sofia, Mia, Evelyn and Isabella all remained in the top ten for girls. However, Charlotte overtook Emma as runner-up which ended a six-year streak in the number two spot, while Ava was dropped out of the top ten and replaced by Eliana.
