While traditional names still were high on the list of baby boy names in 2021, some more modern names were still enjoying the top 10 — including a fifth year for the #1 name.
The baby name Liam took the number one spot on the list, and other more newly-popular names like Maverick, Jaxon, Aiden, Easton, Colton, Greyson, Waylon and Kai were not far behind.
Several names that are now becoming more popular as first names have a long history as last names (surnames): Cooper, Logan, Mason, Carter, Hudson and Lincoln.
As has been the case for generations, Biblical names are still very popular, including Ezra, Noah, James, Jacob, Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew, Joseph, Elijah, Jeremiah, Caleb and several others with religious meaning.
