Once again, the most popular names for babies born in the United States are Liam and Olivia—Liam has topped the list for six years in a row, and Olivia has been the top choice for new parents for four years.
The rankings are determined by Social Security Administration (SSA) data based on applications for Social Security cards. According to their data, Social Security numbers were recorded for 3,648,019 new babies, with male births (1,863,582) edging out female births (1,784,437). That reflects a slight uptick from 2021 but an overall trend of fewer births in the U.S. since the highest year on record, 2007, which welcomed 4,330,961 new babies.
