These are the most popular baby names of 2024: See the list
Apologies to all of the kindergarten teachers whose classes will be packed with Olivias and Liams for yet another year.
The Social Security Administration has revealed the country's most popular baby names for 2024, and the results are remarkably familiar. For the sixth consecutive year, Olivia and Liam are the most common names for baby girls and boys, respectively. The names in second place — Emma and Noah — remain unchanged from 2023 as well.
In fact, the list of boys names includes the same 10 entries as 2023, but in a slightly different order, with Theodore and Henry rising in popularity.
The list of girls names also includes nine of the same names as last year; Sofia claims the tenth place spot, bumping Luna from the list. A different variation of the name, spelled Sophia, also appears in the number six spot.
Every Mother's Day, the Social Security Administration releases data about the previous year's 1,000 most popular baby names. Expecting parents can view lists from past years on the administration's website.

Johnstown HS Senior plants tree to honor woman killed in DUI crash
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — A newly planted tree will begin to develop its roots at the Greater Johnstown High School in honor of Olivia Red. Red, a 20-year-old woman, was killed seven years ago as a result of a wrong-way DUI crash on Route 219 in Cambria County. Her car was hit head-on, causing it to spin and land directly in the path of an 18-wheeler truck. Determined to help others, 'LivRed' and teach them to be like Olivia, one of her sisters, Stephanie, spoke at an assembly two years ago at Johnstown High School. After hearing that speech, Helen Miller, a sophomore at the time, made it her mission to honor Olivia in some way. 'I felt like it was a good way to give back to her at our school, where it was in memory of her,' Miller said. Now a senior and in the Aevidum Club at school, Miller chose to plant a tree as a physical reminder for students and visitors. The Swamp White Oak tree was delivered on Wednesday, with Miller's family and Olivia's other sister, Nicole Antal, there to support. Fundraising effort helps revive Cambria County swimming pool Swamp white oak trees can live up to 300 years and reach heights of 50 to 75 feet. This tree is expected to grow one to two feet each year. 'It doesn't matter if it was yesterday or, you know, it'll be seven years here very soon. It feels like yesterday. But it brings a tear to your eye and touches your heart. I'm thankful that we were able to come to the school and talk to the kids. And just hearing that it's touched her, it's a good feeling,' Antal said. The tree will be named 'Red's Roots' and a plaque will be placed near the tree. Wednesday's tree planting was the first phase of the project. Starting in the next school year, the Aevidum club will build benches to surround the tree and place inspirational rocks nearby. When everything is complete, the goal is to bring students outside and have classes under the tree. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tempers flare between Red Sox, Angels before Wednesday's game
Tempers flare between Red Sox, Angels before Wednesday's game originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston There were fireworks before Wednesday's Boston Red Sox-Los Angeles Angels matchup at Fenway Park, with multiple coaches and players on both sides involved in a heated exchange. Advertisement The dust-up started with Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson and Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores jawing at one another. As Anderson walked away, Angels pitching coach Barry Enright approached Flores to continue the altercation. You can watch the video of the exchange here. Another angle of the incident captured multiple Red Sox and Angels players stepping into the fray. According to multiple reports, Anderson took issue with Flores stealing signals during the left-hander's start against Boston on Monday. Anderson allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks, but the Angels still pulled off a 7-6 win in the series opener. Advertisement Perhaps the pregame fracas will give the Red Sox the emotional spark they desperately need. They entered Wednesday's game with a 29-34 record — 10 games back in the American League East — after dropping Tuesday's matchup 4-3 in extra innings. They've posted a 12-19 record since May 1. Boston will look to avoid getting swept on Wednesday. From there, it will hit the road for a tough three-game series against the first-place New York Yankees.
