Top baby names in Berkeley (California), 2023-2024

Flag of California

The digital newspaper Berkeleyside recently published an article about real-life baby names inspired by various locations within (or near) the California city of Berkeley. The article mentioned the following names:

  • Ada (for Ada Street)
  • Addison (for Addison Street)
  • Adeline (for Adeline Street)
  • Ashby (for Ashby Avenue)
  • Bay (for San Francisco Bay)
  • Berkeley
  • Cedar (for Cedar Street)
  • Edith (for Edith Street)
  • Ellis (for Ellis Street)
  • Linden (for Linden Avenue)
  • Parker (for Parker Street)
  • Rose (for Rose Street)
  • Sibley (for Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, in Oakland)
  • Tilden (for Charles Lee Tilden Regional Park)

Equally interesting, though, was the inclusion of Berkeley’s top ten baby names overall “between 2023 and 2024” (which I’m assuming means 2023 and 2024 combined), according to data from the City of Berkeley’s Office of Vital Statistics. The names were ordered alphabetically:

  • Angel
  • Dylan
  • Julian
  • Liam
  • Luna
  • Mateo
  • Mia
  • Noah
  • Oliver
  • Zoe

I’ve never posted rankings for the city of Berkeley before, but I regularly post rankings for the nearby county of Sonoma — here’s 2023, and here’s 2024.
