Dropped out of the top 100

These names left the national top 100 in 2023: Aubrey, Bella, Skylar, Nevaeh, Serenity, Ayla, Raelynn, Everleigh, Jameson, Greyson, Nicholas, Adam, Xavier.

How to read this page: rank change is the 2022 national rank minus the 2023 national rank, recomputed from SSA counts. Only names given to at least 100 babies in 2023 and at least 20 in 2022 qualify, so the list shows real moves, not names jumping from a handful of births. Use the year links above to switch years.
