Allow me to introduce to you the 2021 SFS List of Baby Names that Combine Similar Pronunciations. That baby name list is the place to go in case you are wondering what are the most popular baby names in 2021 regardless of how they are spelled. The Social Security baby name list does not adjust the rankings based on alternate spellings (like Catherine/Katherine), but SFS does.
It was just Mother’s Day, so the SSA released the name rankings for 2021. Last year’s champion, Jackson has finally be de-throned as the most popular boy’s name in the US. After 7 years at the top of the leaderboard, it was surpassed by Liam. Liam had been gaining on Jackson for a few years, but what really happened is that Jackson lost a big chunk, rather than Liam gaining a big chunk.
No controversy for the girls – it’s Sophia again, and by a similar margin as last year.
Some Stats
- In the top 9 names for the boys, 1 and 2 switched spots, 5 and 6 switched spots, and 8 and 9 switched spots.
- The top 8 names for the girls are the same as 2019, and in much the same order. The only difference is that Charlotte moved up 2 spots.
- Again, Liam has the title of the highest-ranked boy’s name that has no spelling variations, at number 1.
- Again, Emma is the highest-ranked girl’s name that has no spelling variations, at number 3.
- Girl names still have more spelling variations than boy names (258/1000 vs. 176/1000 alternates)
