Biggest gains in babies, 2023

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 (2,253 more than in 2022), and Thiago gained the most boys (1,043 more than in 2022).

New to the top 100

These names entered the national top 100 in 2023: Lainey (#55), Maeve (#73), Eden (#77), Vivian (#88), Madeline (#95), Clara (#98), Lyla (#99), Allison (#100), Thiago (#72), Enzo (#91), Luka (#98), Gael (#99), Amir (#100). They are listed separately because a name that was not in the top 100 last year has no meaningful rank change.

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.
