These are the most popular baby names in every state, birth records reveal
(NEXSTAR) – There were lots of Liams and Olivias born last year — but there were far more in Colorado and Florida than there were in Wisconsin and Wyoming. Liam and Olivia were the two most popular names nationally, but that trend didn't hold true in all 50 states. Each U.S. state had its own trendy and popular names in 2024, according to new data released by the Social Security Administration, which tracks every birth in the U.S. In California, for example, every single girl's name in the top 10 ends with an A. The Golden State's 10 most popular names include some that are more under-the-radar nationally, like Gianna (for a girl) and Santiago (for a boy). In Alabama, old-school classic names like William, John and James dominate for boys. Meanwhile in Hawaii, Kai and Kaia both ranked very high, but are pretty rare in other states. Nova is ultra-trendy in Georgia (No. 11 among all girls born last year), but less common nationwide (No. 39 in 2024). The 10 most popular baby names in the U.S. are in the chart below. To find the most popular names in your state last year, you can use the Social Security Administration's lookup tool. The government agency also tracks which names are experiencing rapid rises in popularity, even if they're still outside the top 20. Truce, Colsen and Bryer rose most in the ranks for baby boys over the past year, while Ailany, Aylani and Marjorie had huge jumps for girls.

Is your name extinct now? Federal government releases new baby name popularity data
(NEXSTAR) – A massive trove of government name data, updated and released to the public Friday, may make you feel old. The Social Security Administration, which records every birth in the U.S., released the official list of most popular baby names of 2024. The top picks of today may have sounded like zany or quirky options when you were growing up, and vice versa – your name may be all but extinct now. Take Nicholas, for example. The name was ultra-popular not that long ago, a steady presence in the top 10 through the 1990s and early 2000s. But it has experienced a steep decline since then, now ranking at No. 118 overall. Even more dramatic is the fate of Lisa, the No. 1 girl's name for nearly the entire 1960s. Now it barely makes it into the top 1,000. It was the 985th most popular name last year, according to the Social Security Administration. Curious how your name has fared over the years? The Social Security Administration has a look-up tool on its website. You can scroll down and type in any name to measure its popularity over time. So what are the hot names right now? The top 20 baby names of 2024, according to the Social Security Administration, were: The government agency also tracks which names are experiencing rapid rises in popularity, even if they're still outside the top 20.

'As a mom myself who struggled when my children were young, I now support other young mothers,' Bryer said. 'Addiction is a disease and treatment for medical conditions requires medical coverage.' Representative Chris Pappas invited Julie Mudd, a mother and advocate, to highlight similar concerns about potential cuts to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and more. 'We cannot jeopardize the health and wellbeing of children and families so politicians in Washington can pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations,' Pappas said in a statement. Representative Maggie Goodlander invited Andrea Packard of Littleton, a dental hygiene student at New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord. Goodlander said she met Packard during a visit to NHTI last month and saw how Packard's community college and others rely on federal funding.

'These tariffs would destabilize our business, damage our distribution and market position in Canada, and result in higher prices for our consumers in both the U.S. and the 15 other countries in addition to Canada that import our products,' Hamilton said. 'It becomes a no-win situation.'
