📈 OFFICIAL SSA DATA · 2021–2024

Rising baby names

167 girls’ names and 146 boys’ names moved up the U.S. Social Security rankings in every one of the last 3 years. These are the 60 girls’ and 60 boys’ names with the biggest total climb.

THE RULE

How a name makes this list

A name is included when its rank improved from 2021 to 2022, again to 2023 and again to 2024, and it is in the 2024 top 1,000. A year outside the top 1,000 counts as rank 1,001, so new arrivals can qualify. Names are ordered by how many places they climbed in total. Rising fast is not a prediction that a name will keep rising.
