Baby name risers and fallers
Every name on the US Social Security Administration top 1,000 that changed rank between 2018 and 2024, with the exact positions gained or lost. 1,676 names moved. This is the full table; the 2026 trends report covers what it means.
How much the charts actually moved
| Girls | Boys | |
|---|---|---|
| Climbed | 405 | 349 |
| Fell | 434 | 488 |
| Held the same rank | 1 | 7 |
| Entered the top 1,000 | 117 | 111 |
| Left the top 1,000 | 22 | 28 |
More names fell than climbed on both charts — 488 boys’ names dropped against 349 that rose. That is not a contradiction: 228 names entered the top 1,000 from outside it, and every new entry pushes the names beneath it down a place. The charts are getting more crowded at the top and turning over faster at the bottom.

Methodology
Ranks come from the US Social Security Administration’s annual national name data, which is public domain and based on births registered with a Social Security card application. We compare the 2018 and 2024 top 1,000 for each sex. “Spots gained” is the 2018 rank minus the 2024 rank, so a name moving from #90 to #806 is shown as −716. Names absent from one year’s top 1,000 are reported as entering or leaving rather than given a movement figure, because the SSA does not publish a rank below 1,000. Rank movement is not the same as birth count: a name can gain rank while falling in absolute births if the names around it fall faster.
