Popular baby names in Philadelphia, 2005-2016

Did you know that you can find old vital statistics reports for the City of Philadelphia on the city’s website? And that most of these reports include baby name rankings?

I don’t want you to have to comb through a bunch of PDFs to find Philly’s historical top-ten lists, though, so — just as with New York City and Austin — I gathered all of them into a single blog post.

I was able to track down eleven sets of rankings — six covering 2005 to 2010, five covering 2012 to 2016. Eight of them also happen to include total numbers of babies.

Finally, because Philadelphia and New York City are relatively close to one another, I thought I’d compare/contrast the rankings above with the NYC rankings for the same years (2005 to 2016, excluding 2011).

Parents in both cities often liked the same names, but not always at the same time, or to the same degree. During the years that Kayla ranked #1 in Philly, for instance, it was already on the decline in NYC.

Here are all the names that reached the top 10 at least twice in one city, but zero times in the other city:

Top-10 in NYC only
(2+ instances)		Ashley, Chloe, Leah, Sarah, RachelDylan, Justin

Any thoughts on these differences?

The country of the Dominican Republic is located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. It shares Hispaniola with the country of Haiti, and nearby islands include Cuba and Jamaica (to the west) and Puerto Rico (to the east).

In 2022, the Dominican Republic welcomed 170,069 babies. What were the most popular names among these babies? Abigaíl and Sebastián.

Here are DR’s top 15 girl names and top 15 boy names of 2022:

  12. Jayden, 221
  13. Dariel, 219
  14. Yadiel, 217
  15. Gael, 214

One year earlier, the Dominican Republic welcomed 170,520 babies. Here are DR’s top 5 girl names and top 5 boy names of 2021:

Girl names, 2021

  1. Abigaíl, 212 baby girls
  2. Charlotte, 188
  3. Isabella, 174
  4. Nashla, 157
  5. Camila, 149

Boy names, 2021

  1. Adriel, 274 baby boys
  2. Sebastián, 247
  3. Liam, 241
  4. Dylan, 224
  5. Samuel, 211

The curious name Nashla was likely influenced by Dominican actress Nashla Bogaert, who was a judge on both seasons of Dominicana’s Got Talent (2019-2021). The name Nashla is also seeing usage in the U.S. — mainly in New York and New Jersey, the two states in which more than half of all Dominican Americans reside.
