Naming Your Baby

I'll never forget trying to pick out my son's name.   When I was pregnant I couldn't stop reading baby name lists online, and trying to settle on a name that both my husband and I liked was a serious struggle!  It felt like every name I liked my husband would say something like "oh I knew a guy with that name, that's a no."  And the same when my husband would have a name idea that he would suggest to me.  We finally landed on Riley, and we both think the name fits him perfectly. But finding a baby name is NOT easy!

Each year, the Social Security Administration publishes the totals for the first names from all Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the US since 1880. The publication is the most complete record of first name usage in the United States. Because Social Security can take quite a while to compile data on the most popular baby names for each year, we've used data on the actual births in recent years to predict the most popular baby names of 2023. Our formula looks at the most 5 most recent years worth of data from the Social Security Administration to detect any trends.
