What "only popular in Texas" means: a name counts if it was given at least 5 times in Texas in 2025 and fewer than 5 times in any other state. SSA does not publish names given fewer than 5 times, so a name could exist elsewhere in smaller numbers. This definition follows the one published by nancy.cc, the only other site publishing these counts.

Parents searching for a distinctive name often mean one thing: a name that other children in Texas are unlikely to share. The list above is that answer, backed by counts instead of opinion. Roel is the most common Texas-only boy name, with 33 births in 2025. Chizaram is the most common Texas-only girl name, with 14 births in 2025. The next most common Texas-only boy names are Stoney, Arnoldo, Vedh. The next most common Texas-only girl names are Ayelen, Aylanni, Steely.
Counts are exact spellings as SSA publishes them. Names given to fewer than 5 babies in a state are not published by SSA, so they do not appear here. Tap a column heading to sort by name or by births. Tap a name to compare it in Texas against California.
