The 20 Most Popular Baby Boy Names of 2025
The Most Popular Baby Boy Names of 2025

I remember looking for the perfect baby boy name when I was pregnant and feeling totally lost. We poured through countless baby name books, took suggestions from family and friends, and still came up empty. If you’re looking for a name, the Social Security Administration (SSA)’s list of most popular boy names is a great place to start.
When choosing a baby name, checking the Social Security Administration (SSA) website may not be your first thought. But each year, this organization pulls together the list of the most popular boy and girl names given to the prior year’s crop of newborns. The SSA baby name list https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/ is usually released right before Mother’s Day using compiled data from the previous year’s United States social security applications.
If the popularity of a name gives you pause, consider that even the top baby names account for only a small percentage of each year’s newborns. For example, Liam, the top boy baby name for the eighth year in a row, only accounted for 1.2 percent of all babies born last year.
So while your child won’t have the world’s most unique baby name, they won’t get lost in a sea of kids with the same name either. Climbing up the charts for the year are Truce, Colsen, Bryer, Halo, and Azaiah.
Whether you’re at the start of your naming journey, or in the throes of decision fatigue, take a moment to read through the boy names parents around the U.S. used the most in last year.

❤️ THE EVERYMOM'S MISSION
The Everymom’s mission is to offer relatable, and practical parenting advice to all families. We go to the experts to make that advice as trustworthy as possible, but we also offer personal perspectives on a subject that is different for everyone. Not one family is alike and our goal is to make sure all families feel seen, represented, and valued across our network. Our team and contributors comprise a diverse group to speak from varying experiences on what it means to be a parent in 2023. Whether it be in an article, on social media, or coming straight to your inbox via our newsletter, our aim is simple—we want to help, and make you feel seen.
There are many aspects of parenting that can feel isolating, and we want every parent to know they are not alone in this. If you’re experiencing it, it’s likely another family has too. At the same time we know that even with its challenges, raising a child is full of joy and we always look at it through that lens. Mothers, fathers, caregivers—they all have a tough job to do, but it’s a great and rewarding one. What we have created is a place for parents to find answers, and never judgment.
