US Baby Names 2025: Combined Birth-Count Archive

Liam had the highest combined recorded count in the US Social Security Administration's 2025 male and female baby-name files, followed by Noah and Oliver. This fixed archive adds counts for the same spelling across both files. It is a Name Finder comparison, not an official combined-sex SSA ranking.

Source and year

The figures come from US Social Security Administration national baby-name records for 2025. SSA publishes separate male and female rankings; the source does not publish the combined ordering shown here. This archive should stay fixed except for source corrections.

Methodology

For each spelling, the comparison adds the recorded male and female birth counts in the imported SSA 2025 files, then orders those combined totals from highest to lowest. Equal totals are ordered alphabetically and receive consecutive display positions; these positions are not official SSA ranks. Spellings remain separate when SSA records them separately. For source-native rankings, use the linked boy and girl pages.

Observations

Liam's combined total was 20 recorded births higher than Noah's, while Noah's total was 5,863 higher than Oliver's. These differences describe the custom 2025 comparison only. They do not predict future choices, and they should not be read as an official SSA combined-sex ranking.
