The results are in, and Olivia and Liam are still the most popular baby names, topping the list again in 2022 after also reigning supreme in 2021, according to babycenter.com.
In fact, the top five baby girl names all remained the same — pulling off an exact repeat of 2021 — with each and every name ending in the letter “a.”
Evelyn is the only new baby girl name to crack the top 10 in 2022 – pushing Harper out. While Liam has held the top spot, barely edging out Noah, since 2019.
Plenty of movement took place outside of the top 10, with the gender-neutral name River rising 31 places on both the girl and boy lists. Myles was the biggest riser on the boys list, along with River – both moved up 31 places. Legend (up 28 spots) and Atlas (up 23 spots) climbed enough to break into the top 100.
