How to read this page: rank change is the 2020 national rank minus the 2025 national rank, recomputed from SSA counts. Only names given to at least 100 babies in 2025 and at least 20 in 2020 qualify, so the list shows real moves, not names jumping from a handful of births. 2025 is the latest year SSA has published; use the year links above to look back.
