Fastest Rising Baby Names over 10 years

Biggest gains in babies between 2015 and 2025

Rank change and birth counts tell different stories: a name can gain thousands of babies and barely move in rank, or jump hundreds of ranks on a small base. Lainey gained the most girls (5,238 more than in 2015), and Theodore gained the most boys (9,200 more than in 2015).
