Last year, Houston — the most populous city in Texas — welcomed over 60,600 babies.

What were the most popular names among these babies? Charlotte and Liam.

Here are Houston’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2021:

Girl Names

  1. Charlotte, 354 baby girls
  2. Ava, 319

  8. Olivia, 181 (tie)
  9. Amelia, 147
  10. Evelyn, 139

Boy Names

  1. Liam, 491 baby boys

  8. Dylan, 214
  9. Oliver, 212
  10. Santiago, 207

In response to the Houston Health Department’s announcement of the city’s top baby names last April, one Twitter-user noted:

If the name “Framber” does not make the 2023 list of Houston’s most popular baby names, the #Astros fan base has failed.

And that was months before left-handed pitcher Framber (pronounced FRAHM-ber) Valdez from the Dominican Republic helped the Houston Astros win the 2022 World Series. So we’ll have to be on the lookout for Texas babies named Framber in the 2022 data…

I didn’t blog about Houston’s 2020 rankings, but I did post the 2019 rankings, which were topped by Emma and Liam.

According to Panama’s Dirección Nacional de Registro Civil (part of the Tribunal Electoral), the most popular baby names in the Central American country two years ago were Mía and Thiago.

Here are Panama’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2020:

A little farther down on the girls’ list, in 12th place, is Alexa — which is interesting. I don’t know how high Alexa has ranked in Panama historically (I’ve never posted rankings for Panama before) but, in the U.S., the usage of Alexa has been plummeting since the mid-2010s.

According to the Tribunal Electoral’s Instagram page, the top names of 2021 were…

  • Girls: Mía, Emma, Lía, Ana, María
  • Boys: Thiago, José, Ian, Liam, Luis

I’m not 100% sure about the ordering, though.

Unique Girl NamesUnique Boy Names
Ahsoka, Bowyn, Cordova, Dutton, Eivissa, Fiadh, Galdina, Hanalie, Indira, Jinora, Ketsana, Levaleah, Metzli, Nebula, Odette, Peninaiaiga, Quinnie, Rockella, Sersha, Tallulah, Umi, Vrianna, Wren, Yadelene, ZeyaAxis, Beaudin, Codiak, Delmar, Elymus, Fletcher, Gibb, Herbert, Ilumi, Jonael, Kalais, Lesinali, Maimonides, Neithan, Ozan, Perrin, Ratu, Samarth, Tonalli, Usyk, Ville, Waimea, Xavien, Yamikani, Zabdiel

Some thoughts on a few of the above…

  • Ahsoka is a character from the Star Wars universe.
  • Dutton is the surname of the family featured on the TV show Yellowstone.
  • Sersha looks like a phonetic rendering of Saoirse.
  • Maimonides refers to Moses ben Maimon, a medieval Jewish philosopher.
  • Tonalli is a Nahuatl word that refers to the warmth of the sun (among other things).

The name Sonoma was also given to a single Sonoma County baby in 2021. :)

Finally, here are Sonoma’s 2020 rankings, if you’d like to compare.
