Top 1,000 baby boy names in the U.S. (2024)

Looking for baby boy names? We've got you!

The Social Security Administration has ranked the most popular names in 2023 — the most recent data available — and there are so many great options from which to choose.

The SSA baby name rankings found the top three most popular boy names were Liam, Noah and Oliver. Liam has held the top spot for the last five years.

There was only one new name on the list of top baby boy names this year: Mateo, which took the No. 6 spot and bounced out Benjamin, which was the No. 9 name in 2022.

Mateo, which came in at No. 11 in 2022, means "gift of God,” according to BabyCenter. An alternate spelling, “Matteo,” ranked 184th in 2022.

The three names at the bottom of the list — but still cracking the top 1,000 — are Cullen, Damari and Hollis.

In addition to the most popular names, the SSA also identified the "fastest-rising" names.

“On the boy’s side, trending in third place as the boy’s fastest riser, is Eiden — perhaps it was TikTok creator Wyatt Eiden’s 1.6 billion views and over 3 million followers that prompted this name’s meteoric rise," the SSA said in a press release.

Another fast-rising name among boys is Chozen. The character Chozen becomes a hero in the latest season of the hit Netflix show, Cobra Kai.
