Popular baby names in the United States, 2021

The new names are here! :)

Earlier today, the SSA released the 2021 U.S. baby name data, revealing that the top names in the nation are again Olivia and Liam.

I have a slew of analysis posts coming up, but let’s just start with the rankings — first the top 10, then the top 500.
