NAMES: The top baby names of 2024 are now available from the Social Security Administration.

First place for girls is Olivia, while Liam is first place for boys — the top names for the 6th year in a row.

The rest of the top 10 for girls were Emma, Amelia, Charlotte, Mia, Sophia, Isabella, Evelyn, Ava and Sofia. Many of the names on this year’s list were more classic, like Penelope at number 28, Eleanor at number 14, Josephine at 56, and Alice at 62.

As for modern names, there was Camila in 11th, Aurora in 16th, Madison at 46, Genesis at 55, and Aaliyah in 93rd.

Interestingly, in number 13 is Luna, which came in first in the American Kennel Club’s list of top dog names.

The trend for classic names was repeated in the list for baby boys, with Noah, Oliver, Theodore, James, Henry, Mateo, Elijah, Lucas and William rounding out the top 10.

The name Benjamin is 11th, Jack is 15th, Daniel is 16th, followed by Samuel, Michael and Ethan. John was in 21st. 

An AKC crossover was seen in the list for boys, too, with Cooper in 50th place.

At the website TheBump.com, the list of their top baby names for the year starts with the name Kai, which they say is a unisex name, followed by Amelia, Mia, Liam, Olivia, Rowan, Noah, James, Maeve and Asher.

The name Atticus makes their list, at number 20, and Harper at number 38, Ezra at 37 and Henry at 50, for a bit of a literary feel.

For a nod to nature, there is River, Willow, Jade, Iris, Ruby and Onyx.
