Last month, Social Security released the national and state-specific baby name data for 2024.

Jack Myers with Social Security indicates they get asked often why they keep track of this data, and the answer is quite simple - it is because they have the information.

You can see the top 10 boys and girls names of 2024 for the U.S. Myers indicates you can also see state-specific lists to see how Illinois or any other state differs from the national naming trends. Additionally, if you want to check the historical popularity of a specific name, you can do that too.

Liam and Olivia remain the top baby names from 2024, with a similar variety of the same name for the girls rounding out the top ten baby names.
