Two ties are worth knowing. In Washington, DC in 2025 the girls’ #1 is shared: Emma and Sophia both had 36 girls, so DC counts for both of them. And the boys’ fifth slot is a four-way tie at one state each — Elijah (Hawaii), James (Mississippi), John (Alabama), and Waylon (West Virginia). Elijah is listed first because the tie is broken alphabetically.

How this was counted: State #1 = rank 1 in the CSV for that state/sex/year, 2010-2025. Streak = longest run of consecutive years at #1 for one name (a tied #1 year counts for each tied name). Longest streak per state+sex; earliest streak wins a tie. State #1 names in 2025 (rank 1 in CSV), counted across the 50 states + DC, per sex. Ties for a top-5 cutoff are broken alphabetically (the boys' 5th slot is a 4-way tie at 1 state: Elijah, James, John, Waylon; Elijah is listed as alphabetically first). In DC 2025 the girls' #1 is a tie (Emma 36 and Sophia 36), so DC counts for both.
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.
