OLIVIA AND LIAM ARE TOP 10 US BABY NAMES

(05/08/2021)
Mason and Ethan Fall Out of Top 10

Olivia and Liam are once again America’s most popular baby names in 2020. It appears parents chose to stick with the familiar during an unprecedented time, with the top three names for both girls - Olivia, Emma, and Ava - and boys - Liam, Noah, and Oliver - remaining the same for the second year in a row. In fact, out of both Top 10 lists combined, only two names changed, with the traditional names Henry and Alexander edging out Mason and Ethan. The name Henry has been steadily rising in popularity, last appearing in the Top 10 over a century ago, in 1910.

Here are the top 10 boys and girls names for 2020:

Boys: 1) Liam Girls: 1) Olivia 2) Noah 2) Emma 3) Oliver 3) Ava 4) Elijah 4) Charlotte 5) William 5) Sophia 6) James 6) Amelia 7) Benjamin 7) Isabella 8) Lucas 8) Mia 9) Henry 9) Evelyn 10) Alexander 10) Harper
