"TODAY's Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones and Al Roker, took a stab at guessing BabyCenter's No. 1 name, in honor of the 2025 list. While the co-hosts did not guess the top names, they said they weren't surprised. "We know a lot of Noahs," Sheinelle said. Olivia has been at No. 1 for six straight years and been a top 10 name in the U.S. since 2001, Craig said. "I think it's not coincidental. Did you ever read the Olivia books to your daughters, the little girl pig?" Al said."
"Although some names have consecutively reigned at the top of the list, new ones have made it to the top 10. Eliana (No. 7) and Aurora (No. 9) made their first top 10 girl name appearance as Ava and Luna made their way out at number 11 and 13. For boys, BabyCenter said there was "less movement." Leo has left the top 10, moving to No. 11. While Luca has returned after not appearing in the top 10 last year."
"New Girls Names In The Top 100 Eloise, No. 75 Sarah, No. 84 Emersyn, No. 89 Charlie, No. 93 Catalina, No. 95 Josephine, No. 96 Juniper, No. 97 Oaklynn No. 98 Vivian, No. 99 Kehlani, No. 100"
BabyCenter compiled names from parents registered on its app, covering over 350,000 babies born in 2025. Noah and Olivia remain the No. 1 names for boys and girls, with Olivia holding the top girls spot for six straight years and remaining in the U.S. top 10 since 2001. New entrants to the girls top 10 include Eliana (No. 7) and Aurora (No. 9), while Ava and Luna moved to No. 11 and No. 13. Boys showed less movement: Leo dropped to No. 11 and Luca returned to the top 10. Several new girls names entered the top 100, including Eloise, Sarah, Emersyn, Charlie, Catalina, Josephine, Juniper, Oaklynn, Vivian and Kehlani. Trends and popular culture continue to influence name choices.
