Liam and Olivia came out on top as the most popular male and female names, respectively. Nearby, however, has been the reigning champion Emma, who took the top spot as the most popular name of the decade for girls. Noah was the second most popular name of 2019 of boys, but also No. 1 for most popular names of the decade.

Other names for boys on the list included Oliver, William, Elijah, James, Benjamin, Lucas, Mason and Ethan.

For baby girls, Ava, Sophia, Isabella, Charlotte, Amelia, Mia, Harper and Evelyn made up the top 10.
