Method: rising names are among the 150 most given names of the last year and are compared with their count ten years earlier (fewer than 5 babies counts as 5); falling names were among the 150 most given ten years earlier. “—” means the name was not in the data that year.
About these numbers. Babies born in the United States who received a Social Security number, by year of birth (1980-2025). To protect privacy, the SSA only publishes a name in a given year if at least 5 babies of the same sex received it.
