Names are ordered by the year they first entered the top 100, newest first, then by their 2025 rank. A name that first hit the top 100 in 1990 or later but has since dropped out is not listed: 251 names first entered in that window, and only these 131 are still in the top 100 in 2025.

How this was counted: First national top-100 year is the earliest year 1910-2025 the name ranked <=100 nationally; peak rank/year is its best national rank over 1910-2025 (earliest year on a tie). Only names still in the national top 100 in 2025 are listed (131 of the 251 names that first hit the top 100 in/after 1990).

Counts come from SSA’s published state files for the 50 states and DC. A name is published in a state only when at least 5 babies of one sex received it there that year, so totals are slightly smaller than true births. National ranks are competition ranks of the summed counts; ties share a rank.
