Last year, there were a great number of Liams and Olivias born, but the number of Liams and Olivias born in Colorado and Florida was significantly higher than the number of Liams and Olivias born in Wisconsin and Wyoming.
There was a general trend that Liam and Olivia were the two most popular names in the United States, although this pattern did not hold true in all fifty states.
As of 2024, every state in the United States had its own fashionable and popular names, according to new data that was released by the Social Security Administration, which is responsible for monitoring every birth that occurs in the United States.
One example is the state of California, where every single girl’s name that makes it into the top 10 ends with an A.
Gianna (for a girl) and Santiago (for a boy) are two of the names that are significantly more prevalent in the Golden State than they are in other parts of the country.
Some of the most popular names for boys in Alabama are traditional names such as William, John, and James. However, Kai and Kaia both were very high in Hawaii, although in other states they are rather uncommon.
Although Nova is the most popular name among all girls born in Georgia (No. 11 among all girls born in the previous year), it is less frequent across the country (No. 39 in 2024).
