The group said that nearly all of the names were the same as 2023, except Ellie which is appearing on the list for the first time, while Asher returns to the top 10 list on the boy’s side.

Top 10 girl’s names:

Olivia

Emma
Sophia
Charlotte
Isabella
Ava
Mia
Ellie
Luna

Top 10 boys’ names:

Noah
Liam
Oliver
Elijah
Mateo
Lucas

There are a few names that finally made it into the top 100 names including No. 79’s Walker, No. 84’s Bennett and No. 100 Adriel for boys and No. 90 Ember and No. 96 Oakley for girls, according to BabyCenter.

With new names cracking the 100 list, that means some have dropped off including for girls — Sarah, Eva and Jasmine — while Kayden, Dominic and Aaron left the list for boys.
