New names top the list for Maine’s most popular baby names. See the top 10.

New names top the list for both the most popular boy names and the most popular girl names in Maine.

On Thursday, the Social Security Administration released the top baby names for boys and girls born in 2023 – nationally and by state, showing some changes in the most popular names Maine parents choose for their newborns.

While Evelyn has always been a popular choice in Maine, maintaining a spot in the top 10 for at least the past five years, the ever-popular Charlotte edged out the name for the top spot in 2023.

Theodore quickly rose up the boys’ list in recent years, from ninth in 2021, to second in 2022 and to first this year, followed by Oliver and Henry.

What are the most popular baby names in the US?

Olivia, Emma and Charlotte were the most popular girls’ names. For boys, Liam, Noah and Oliver were the most popular names.

Despite being ranked second nationally, Emma doesn’t seem to be as popular in Maine, where she ranks seventh, just above Violet, Hazel and Aurora.
