Allow me to introduce to you the 2022 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 2022 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 2022. Last year’s champion, Liam has repeated as the most popular boy’s name in the US, for the second year, so last year was not an anomaly. Liam gained a little bit, but Jackson is really falling off now.
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, 2 and 3 switched spots, 4 and 5 stayed the same, then there is more shakeup with Aiden dropping fast.
- The top 14 names for the girls are the same as 2021, and in much the same order. The only difference is that Amelia jumped ahead of Olivia for 2nd place, and Isabella moved up 2 spots, jumping back ahead of Charlotte.
- 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 4.
- Girl names still have more spelling variations than boy names (255/1000 vs. 172/1000 alternates)
- Kayson once again took the prize for the most spelling variations for the boys at 9.
- For the girls, Adaline once again took the prize for the most spelling variations at 6.
