What Are The Most Popular Baby Names In The US?
Olivia, Emma and Amelia have been announced as the three most popular baby names for girls in the U.S., while for boys, Liam, Noah and Oliver were parents' favorites.
This is according to the U.S. Social Security Administration's annual list of the most popular baby names in the United States.
According to the institution, Statista's Anna Fleck reports that the list, released earlier this month, is based on applications for Social Security cards, which are submitted at the time of birth.
Olivia and Liam have held the top spots for the past six consecutive years. The third position has shown slightly more variation since 2015, with the appearance of Amelia, Charlotte, Ava and Sophia for girls, as well as William and Mason for boys.
Other girls' names that featured in the top 10 last year were Charlotte, Mia, Sophia, Isabella, Evlyn and Ava. For boys, they were James, Genry, Mateo, Elijah, Lucas and William.
In 2024, the names with the biggest changes in popularity were Truce for a boy, which rose from rank 12,109 in 2023 to 991 in 2024 and Ailany for a girl, which rose from rank 855 to 101.
Truce is an Old English name meaning 'peace', while Ailany is believed to be derived from the Hawaiian name Ailani, which means 'chief'.
In total, 3.61 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2024, up from 3.59 million in 2023.

More Young Men Are Now Religious Than Women In The US
Younger generations of women are less religious than their male counterparts in the United States, according to data from a Statista Consumer Insights survey. As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, this marks a shift, as historically, U.S. women have been the more religious group. As this chart shows, for both genders, religion is becoming less widespread overall. Christianity is the dominant religion in the U.S., by a long shot. Statista data shows that 51 percent of Gen Z males self-identify as Christian, with the next biggest religious groups Islam (six percent), Buddhism (two percent). Only six percent of Gen Z men are atheists and 17 percent non-religious. For Gen Z women, 48 percent said their religion is Christianity, while only two percent said Islam and two percent Buddhism. Six percent of Gen Z women are atheists and 22 percent identify as non-religious.

39% Of US Couples Met Online
Today's daters are taking matters into their own hands. Seemingly no longer satisfied with the potential partners that life throws at them at work, in school and in their circle of friends, Statista's Katharina Buchholz details below that an increasingly large number of heterosexual daters is opting to meet their partner online. Surveys carried out and analyzed by Stanford University show that between 1995 and 2017 the number of heterosexuals who met their partner on the internet rose sharply from 2 percent to 39 percent. With the help of dating apps like Tinder and eHarmony, but also through social networking sites like Facebook, daters reconnected with old friends and acquaintances (8 percent of couples who met online), were introduced to someone (11 percent) or – in the majority of cases – met someone completely new on their own (81 percent). The authors of the survey concluded that the main draw of looking for a stranger online was a larger set of choices than when leveraging friends and family, which was especially useful when 'searching for something unusual or hard‐to‐find.' In a similar vein, meeting your partner in a bar or restaurant was also on the rise between 1995 and 2017. Stanford researchers excluded homosexuals from their analysis because they constitute a minority sexual orientation, making meeting someone online a more obvious choice for them than for heterosexuals. These were usually in a 'thick dating market' (quote from Stanford) and therefore normally also able to identify several potential mates in their offline lives, according to the research. 4 months ago 8 months ago 6 months ago
