2010s Baby Names
24,194 names were given to children in the United States between 2010 and 2019, ranked below by how many.
A name's place is its total across those ten years. Names that appear in only some of the decade say so, because a name recorded once is a different fact from one recorded every year.

What made a 2010s name
Nothing about the sound of it. A name is on this page because children in the United States were registered with it between 2010 and 2019, and its position is simply how many. Every list of "2010s names" you will find elsewhere is somebody's sense of the period; this one is the register.
Why Some Names Only Cover Part of the Decade
A name that appears in three of the ten years either arrived partway through or faded out — and either is more interesting than the total on its own. The statistics offices do not publish names given to very few children in a year, so a gap can also mean the count dropped below the threshold rather than to nothing.
