Top 1,000 baby girl names in the U.S.

To choose a name that really shines, go ahead and pick a popular baby girl name.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has organized a list of 1,000 names ranked by popularity, and there are exciting picks from Indigo to Elsa and Sapphire.

According to the SSA, favorites like Olivia, Emma and Charlotte reigned in 2022, the most recent list, along with Amelia, Sophia and Isabella. The agency's new rankings will be released in 2024, so for now, Sherri Suzanne, the founder of My Name for Life, shares where parents of baby girls are turning.

"Traditional names like Ruth, Louise and Florence coexist with unconventional names like Juniper and Marigold," Suzanne tells TODAY.com. "There is a style for everyone! Name trends in 2023 ranged from long-forgotten feminine antiques, like Esmeralda and Guinevere, to modern names, like Clover and Scout."

Suzanne points out that nicknames fell in the middle.

"Parents who seek my guidance are more comfortable when names at either end of the timeline yield nicknames that are somewhere in between," she says. "For example, mainstream-style short forms like Chloe can make Clover easier to embrace, while Esme and Gwen make Esmeralda and Guinevere feel more current."

Here are other girl name trends, according to Suzanne.

• Gender-neutral names: "In the past, parents of girls borrowed from traditionally male names, making them more gender neutral," says Suzanne. "In 2023, among my clients, gender neutrality was achieved more with English surnames like Emery and with nature names like Ocean."

• Informal “boyish” nicknames: "These have been revived, thanks to pop stars like Billie Eilish," she says. "In the past, names like Andi, Billie, Dani, Scottie, Stevie and Frankie were used as 'official' first names. However, formal names that yield cute nicknames are now more desirable — for example, Francesca (Frankie) and Daniella (Dani)."

• Non-English names: "More parents are selecting non-English names or international cognates of English names," says Suzanne. "It is partly the result of changing demographics and the instant availability of global pop culture. In either case, non-English names like Alondra, Gia, Saanvi and Alessandra are expanding the palette of beautiful names."

• 20th century names: "Girl names from the mid-20th century (Paula, Lisa) to late 20th century (Lauren, Kelly) are being discussed again sooner than expected," says Suzanne.

• Rare classic names: "Underused classics remain the most coveted girl names in my practice," says Suzanne. "When I rediscover a name everyone knows that never achieved top popularity or that fell out of use, parents are intrigued. Examples are names like Maxine, Claudette, Lorna or Cecile."
