A couple of months ago, we looked at Austin’s top baby names of 2017. When I found the data for that post, I also found nine other top-10 lists for Austin (2008-2016). Because they’re out of date, I’ll go ahead and consolidate these earlier rankings into a single blog post (like I did for New York City a while back).

Popular baby names in College Station (Texas), 2022

Flag of Texas
Flag of Texas

The city of College Station, home of Texas A&M University (the state’s first public institution of higher education), is located in east-central Texas.

Last year, College Station welcomed 3,856 babies — 1,932 girls and 1,924 boys.

What were the most popular names among these babies? Evelynn and Noah.

Here are College Station’s top 3 girl names and top 3 boy names of 2022:

Girl Names

  1. Evelynn, 21 baby girls
  2. Camila, 20
  3. Ava, 18

Boy Names

  1. Noah, 20 baby boys
  2. Daniel & Liam (tie), 18 each
  3. Benjamin, 15

I’m curious about Evelynn being the top girl name, because the traditional spelling, Evelyn, tends to be much more popular. Could “Evelynn” be a typo…?

Hadley wasn’t in the girls’ top 3, but it was the name of the first baby born in College Station in 2022.

Finally, here are some of the interesting first-middle combos bestowed in the city last year:

  • Girls: Galilea Ninive, Magnolia Truth, Italia Grecia, Saylor Arrow, Pepper Joe
  • Boys: Dodger John, Rowdy Randermann, Kratos Despereaux, Rhythm Ritesh, Riggins Joe

In 2021, the top names in College Station were Adalyn/Olivia/Sophia (a three-way tie) and Liam.

Popular baby names in Coconino County (Arizona), 2022

Flag of Arizona
Flag of Arizona

Coconino County in Arizona is the second-largest county in the continental United States. If it were a U.S. state, it would rank between West Virginia (#41) and Maryland (#42) in terms of total area.

Coconino contains a number of nationally protected places, including part of the Grand Canyon, but relatively few residents. Last year, it welcomed just 1,314 babies — less than 2% of all the babies born in Arizona.

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

Here are the county’s top 5 girl names and top 5+ boy names of 2022:

Girl Names

  1. Juniper
  2. Sophia
  3. Hailey
  4. Hazel
  5. Olivia

Boy Names

  1. Liam
  2. Oliver
  3. Asher, Kai, Logan, Mason, and Theodore (5-way tie)

I’m pleasantly surprised that Juniper happened to be the #1 girl name in the region. (No doubt the names at the top of these rankings were only separated by a baby or two, though.)

I wonder how many of the parents who opted for Juniper were inspired by the Utah Juniper, which is a small, wind-twisted tree native to the Southwest. The NPS describes junipers as having “a mystical quality. Each tree is like a fine work of art that one might find in a museum.”

Nationally, the name Juniper has been bounding up the charts over the last few years. In 2021, it was the 138th most popular girl name in the country, but a top-50 name in the following six states:

  • Wyoming (where Juniper ranked 14th)
  • Oregon (17th)
  • Montana (18th)
  • Vermont (18th)
  • Alaska (25th)
  • Idaho (32nd)

Speaking of states…

The Arizona Department of Health Services reports that these were top baby names state-wide in 2022:

Girl Names, Ariz.Boy Names, Ariz.
1. Olivia, 382 baby girls
2. Emma, 338
3. Isabella, 309
4. Sophia, 304
5. Luna, 269
6. Mia, 248
7. Camila, 224
8. Amelia, 220
9. Ava, 209
10. Charlotte, 206		1. Liam, 433 baby boys
2. Noah, 410
3. Mateo, 372
4. Oliver, 330
5. Santiago, 298
6. Sebastian, 257
7. Elijah, 244
8. Ezra, 235
9. Ezekiel, 230
10. Julian, 224

Notably, Juniper and Hailey — the 1st and 3rd most popular girl names in Coconino County — only managed to rank 93rd and 99th across all of Arizona.
