In what has become a fun annual tradition, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has released its list of the top 10 baby names from 2021. Including the top 10 male and female names. It’s always interesting to see what names make the list, and which don’t.
Top 10 Baby Names from 2021
Every year the SSA releases a list of the top ten male and female baby names. And they have just released their list from 2021. With the two most popular names coming as no surprise. Liam was the most popular male baby name for the fifth year in a row. And Olivia was the most popular female name for the third year in a row.
In all, the female list featured the exact same names from last year’s list. Just swapping positions. With the biggest surprise coming in the list of male names. With Theodor showing up at #10, when it wasn’t even in the top 20 in 2020.
