The top 10 baby names from 2025 have been revealed - and there's some new contenders as well as the traditional classics.
To mark Mother's Day in the US, the Social Security Administration have revealed which names were the most popular among parents last year, explaining that many of the monikers 'remained consistent with years past with minimal shifts in the top 10 rankings'.
However, there have been some small changes to the lists. For example, while Liam and Olivia have topped the charts yet again, Charlotte is now number two in the top 10, while Ava - which has always been a super popular name for girls - has now dropped from the top 10 for the first time in several years.
A new girls' name has also entered the top 10, whereas the most popular boys' names have remained more consistent year after year.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the exceptional mothers who inspire us and guide future generations,” Social Security Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano said.
“As Mother’s Day draws closer, I find myself reflecting on the unwavering care, courage, and commitment my own mother instilled in my siblings and me as the glue that held our family together.”

Parents will know that choosing a baby name can often be tricky and while it's a very personal choice, trends and lists can make the process a little easier.

They realised that names with unique spellings are becoming less popular, as well as monikers inspired by places.
The experts also predicted which names are likely to be extinct within the next year, and some are pretty surprising.
