The most popular name given to newborn girls in Washington stayed the same in 2024 compared to the year before, and so did the most popular name given to baby boys.

That’s according to the United States Social Security Administration, which tracks popular baby names nationally and by state using Social Security card applications.

In Washington, Olivia was the top baby girl name last year, a title it’s held for much of the last decade, according to the federal data. Meanwhile, Oliver nabbed the No. 1 spot for baby boy names in 2024. Like Olivia, it has frequently appeared near the top over the last decade.

In nearby states, those two names also were popular. They took the top spots in Oregon in 2024, while Oliver was the most popular baby boy name in Idaho and Olivia was No. 3 for girls.
