The state also revealed the top names within each of its three largest racial/ethnic groups, which it defined as “White/non-Hispanic,” “White/Hispanic,” and “Black.”

How do these rankings stack up against the U.S. Social Security Administration’s 1997 rankings for Colorado?

The boy names look similar, but there are two significant discrepancies among the girl names: Alexandra ranked 11 spots lower (19th vs. 8th) and Gabrielle ranked 33 spots lower (75th vs. 42nd) on the federal government’s list.

Other names bestowed in Colorado in 1997 included “Elway, Jamaica, and Mars for baby boys, and October, November, Paradise, and Rejoice for baby girls.”

Elway was no doubt inspired by John Elway, the longtime Denver Broncos quarterback who was about to lead the team to its first Super Bowl victory (in January of 1998).

Speaking of Colorado baby names with historical significance…here are posts about Denver (b. 1859), Colorado (b. 1859), Salida (b. 1881), and Silver Dollar (b. 1889).

Update, Nov. 2025: I recently stumbled upon a newspaper article that listed the top 10 names per gender among Colorado’s Hispanic and Black babies of 1997.

These were the top 10 girl names and 10 boy names among Colorado’s Hispanic babies:

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:

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. Sebastián, 247
  3. Liam, 241

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.
