Liam and Olivia Most Popular Baby Names For 2022

Saturday, May 13th, 2023 -- 7:08 AM

The Social Security Administration released its list of the most popular baby names for 2022, and Liam and Olivia continued their reigns as the top names for boys and girls, respectively.  It’s Liam’s sixth straight year as No. 1. Olivia has reigned since the name unseated Emma four years ago. 

But look at the fastest-rising names, and you’ll see the impact of pop culture. Dutton, popularized by the TV Western Yellowstone, moved up the most of any name, jumping 986 spots from 2021 to No. 835 this year.  The Social Security Administration’s latest data shows 3.64 million babies in the U.S. were issued Social Security cards last year, up slightly from 2021.
