The names every state agrees on
93 names · 45 girls · 48 boys · records through 2025

This guide has 93 names: 45 girl names and 48 boy names. Names appearing in the latest top-100 of at least 45 states, ordered by how many states rank them. Built from US Social Security birth records through 2025. Tap + beside any name to keep it on your shortlist as you read.
Before the names
This page is the opposite cut. These are the names clearing the top 100 in nearly every state in the country at the same time — the national consensus, counted state by state rather than in aggregate.
A name here carries no regional accent at all. Wherever a family lives now, and wherever they move, it reads the same way.
