2024 Top Girls' Names in the USA

 The 2024 SSA List of top names is up!

I have grouped them by spelling. The quick results of the top 100 is thus:

The full list is here: Top 8000 Names in the USA Grouped by Spelling: Girls

Just for reference, here is the top 50 grouped by spelling vs. not grouped by spelling. You can see that the names that have a lot of different spellings are affected the most. For example, there aren't that many ways to spell Ava or Emma, so they are less popular when compared with names like Aaliyah and Adeline, which have lots of spellings. 

This year's notable trend was for names that rhyme with Naomi. This year we have:

Ayomi (27)
Jaomi (5)
Kyomi (703)
Layomie (6)

Meiomi/Myomi (16)
Saiomi (7)
Tyomi (6)

Xiomi (7)
Ziomi (7)

We also added Knyomi, which I'm assuming is Naomi with a silent K. 

For a complete list of changes from 2023, here's the list: 2024 vs 2023 Girls' Name Changes

Also, if you click on the tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet, there's another sheet that lists all the names dropping out of the top 7000 from 2023, as well as all the names that were added in 2024.

The highest debuting name was Yashna with 170 namesakes. Most names debut in the database with 5 or 6 namesakes, though. 170 is pretty high! This is not the highest charting debut in SSA Database history-- that honor goes to Kizzy in 1977, inspired by the television mini-series Roots. The second biggest was Dylan in 2013 with 593 namesakes.
