Synopsis: A list from the U.S. Social Security listing the top 200 baby names for boys and girls.

The following table shows the 200 most popular given names for male and female babies born during 2010 - 2016.

For each rank and sex, the table shows the name and the number of occurrences of that name.

The U.S. Social Security website offers lists of baby names for each year since 1880 (www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/).

Social Security started compiling baby name lists in 1997, with names dating to back to 1880.

At the time of a child's birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child's Social Security card, thus making Social Security America's source for the most popular baby names.

The 200 most popular names were taken from 12,181,467 male births and 11,627,861 female births.
