The official list of the most popular 2025 baby names is here, with Noah and Olivia keeping their No. 1 spot. BabyCenter has been reporting on baby names for over 20 years. Every year, they release the 100 most popular baby names. The names were sourced from parents registered on the BabyCenter app with over 350,000 babies born in 2025, according to BabyCenter. TODAY's Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones and Al Roker, took a stab at guessing BabyCenter's No. 1 name, in honor of the 2025 list. While the co-hosts did not guess the top names, they said they weren't surprised. “We know a lot of Noahs,” Sheinelle said. Olivia has been at No. 1 for six straight years and been a top 10 name in the U.S. since 2001, Craig said. "I think it's not coincidental. Did you ever read the Olivia books to your daughters, the little girl pig?" Al said. Although some names have consecutively reigned at the top of the list, new ones have made it to the top 10. Eliana (No. 7) and Aurora (No. 9) made their first top 10 girl name appearance as Ava and Luna made their way out at number 11 and 13. For boys, BabyCenter said there was "less movement." Leo has left the top 10, moving to No. 11. While Luca has returned after not appearing in the top 10 last year. Here's the list of 2025's top 10 most popular baby names for boys and girls.
