See the rankings: These were Colorado's most popular baby names in 2024
Have you recently discovered you're pregnant or made the decision to bring a new baby into your life? If so, you're probably doing a lot of thinking about what to name your little bundle of joy. Some parents like to name their children after close family members or loved ones and seek more traditional names, while others try to identify unique or uncommon names that cause their children to stand out. If you find yourself in that latter group, there are some names you may want to avoid, as they're among the most common for new babies in the United States. Liam, for instance, was the top name for boys each year from 2019 to 2024, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration, while Olivia was the most common name selected for baby girls in each of those years. Those two names were also the most popular in Colorado in 2024, where 423 boys were named Liam and 277 girls were named Olivia. Here were the top 10 baby names for boys and girls in Colorado last year, and how many babies were given that name.

Man killed by Pueblo police after allegedly pointing gun at officers identified by coroner
A man who was shot and killed during a confrontation with Pueblo police officers on July 8 has been identified as a 54-year-old Puebloan. John Michael Jesse was shot by a police officer during an incident in the 0-100 block of Glen Royal Drive and was pronounced dead at the scene by a coroner investigator, according to a July 11 news release by the Pueblo County Coroner's Office. Police were called to the scene around 11:44 a.m. Tuesday on a report of a domestic disturbance, according to a Pueblo Police Department news release. Police officials stated the suspect "was making threats to harm members of his family." When officers arrived, the suspect allegedly pointed a gun at officers and failed to comply with commands to drop his weapon, at which point an officer fired a single shot, killing the suspect. No police officers or citizens were injured during the incident, according to the release. The 10th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the incident, with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation acting as the lead investigative agency.
