Baby Names Update

BabyCenter parents share their baby's name, so the website doesn't predict the top names but just gives a live look at trends. If you are reading this in the second half of 2023 or later, the 2023 list I mention here is probably different by year's end.

Olivia and Liam were the most popular baby names of 2021 and 2022. In fact, the top five baby girl names all remained the same in 2021 and 2022. Here's an oddity - look at how many girls' names end in "a." 

The top five boy names from 2021 to 2022 were the same though the order shifted, no new names broke into the top of the list.


BabyCenter is kind of unique as they track names in real-time so the list is always being updated. We are halfway into 2023 and it looks like Liam who has held that top spot for boys since 2019 has dropped and Oliver and Noah are battling it out for the top. 

BabyCenter is a digital parenting resource and this year's list changes as parents share what names they’ve chosen for their newest additions.

Check your name or the name of your kids by their birth year. My name was in the top 20 the year I was born and doesn't even appear on lists now. Such is the popularity of names.
