About this list
Every position here counts real births registered in the United States during 2024, not a survey or an estimate. Names are ranked by how many babies received them, so rank 1 is the single most-registered boy name of the year. This page shows ranks 1 to 1000.
Spelling variants count separately, which is why closely related forms of the same name can sit far apart. Compare a single name across every year and country on its own page, or see which names moved fastest across the full data range.
