Name Legacy

Baby name trends, 2025

What changed between 2024 and 2025

Ailany gained more than any other name, up 4,530 births on 2024 to 7,136. Liam lost the most, down 1,434 to 20,818. Only names with at least 200 births in one of the two years are counted, so a name going from five births to twenty does not crowd out real movement.
