The Social Security Administration revealed the mostly popular names for babies in 2021, and amazingly enough, they are mostly normal sounding names.
The top names were Olivia for girls and Liam for boys. That happens to be a repeat of last year’s top names, according to the 2022 list.
“Social Security began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names,” the government website reported this week.
The name Michael has held the top spot most frequently (44 times) since the agency has been tracking the names, and the name Mary for baby girls has been atop the list 35 times, according to the agency.
Theodore last year cracked the top-10 list for the first time. The name jumped from the 23rd spot to bump Alexander out of 10th place.
Oddly, Joe Biden’s Social Security Administration has reported names for boys and names for girls.
Isn’t it odd that they have assumed these children’s genders?
Anyway, here is the top ten boys names:
Liam, Noah, Oliver, Elijah, James, William, Benjamin, Lucas, Henry, and Theodore bringing up the rear.
Anyway, here is the top ten girls names:
Starting with Olivia, and continuing with Emma, Charlotte, Amelia, Ava, Sophia, Isabella, Mia, Evelyn, and Harper.
Pretty normal sounding names.
