In the girls’ top 10, Poppy and Elsie replaced Willow and Isabella.

In the boys’ top 10, Archie replaced Henry.

At the other end of the spectrum I spotted Bryher (given to 5 baby girls), no doubt inspired by Bryher Island, located off the coast of Cornwall.

And, speaking of rare names, here’s a selection of those that were given to just three babies each in England and Wales (combined) in last year:

Rare girl namesRare boy names
Ascia, Barley, Clementina, Drashti, Euphemia, Fodhla, Gwenlli, Hyacinth, Isidora, Jindh, Kanak, Letizia, Migle, Ngoc, Olayinka, Pearly, Quinnie, Rennala, Sorella, Tirion, Unathi, Valora, Wallis, Xanthi, Yuet, ZhilaAelfred, Bramwell, Canelo, Doulton, Erling, Ferdia, Gursimran, Horace, Iorwerth, Jolyon, Kenshin, Llywelyn, Mawgan, Nikunj, Ozair, Penuel, Quintus, Rudolph, Shabsi, Teifion, Ugnius, Vishvam, Western, Xyleek, Ynyr, Zaroon

Some facts/thoughts about a few of the above…

  • Canelo is the Spanish word for “cinnamon.” (It’s also used as a nickname for a redheaded person.)
  • Erling is the first name of Norwegian soccer player Erling Haaland (who currently plays for Manchester City).
  • Gwenlli is a short form of the Welsh name Gwenllian.
  • Migle is based on the Lithuanian word migla, meaning “mist.”
  • Teifion may be based on the name of the River Teifi in Wales.
  • Xyleek, which debuted impressively in the U.S. data last year, may have been inspired by a TikTok video.
  • Ynyr is the Welsh form of the Latin name Honorius.

Finally, here are the 2024 rankings for Scotland and Northern Ireland — the other two countries in the United Kingdom — and the 2023 rankings for England and Wales, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.

Which girl names emerged in the U.S. baby name data in 2024 for the first time ever?

A total of 721 girl names debuted in the data last year, and the most impressive debut was made by Yashna. Here are the top debuts overall:

  1. Yashna, 170 baby girls
  2. Azeira, 65
  3. Dalzary, 44
  4. Ailanys, 34
  5. Zayelle, 30
  6. Heyssel, 29
  7. Yeshna, 26
  8. Khamyri, 25
  9. Kohani, 24
  10. Navayla, 24
  11. Dahira, 23
  12. Sveya, 23
  13. Xaelia, 22
  14. Zenayla, 22
  15. Avaylah, 21
  16. Cireya, 20
  17. Nevayla, 20
  18. Amrielle, 19
  19. Mikaely, 18

  29. Alyzzah, 14
  30. Asiri, 14
  31. Islani, 14
  32. Symori, 14

Yashna could have been influenced by the main female character in the Indian movie Hi Nanna, released in late 2023. (The name of the character’s romantic interest, Viraj, also saw an increase in usage last year.)

Here are some more debuts:

13 baby girlsDenayt, Elianeth, Inti, Izalyn, Jaziriah, Soulie, Sylphiette, Vihanvi, Xialani, Zaierra
12 baby girlsCalissi, Harmyni, Isaliyah, Islarae, Layvani, Tycelyn, Umay, Zuheilyn
11 baby girlsAmaeva, Dreamlyn, Haniely, Knourish, Kylanii, Laineymae, Shreeva, Xenayla
10 baby girlsAjorie, Davileth, Ellavie, Esslyn, Kaeor, Kritara, Ozora, Ralani, Rennala, Rouh, Truce, Vidhitsa, Zeliana, Zenova

Sylphiette seems to originate with the Japanese light novel series Mushoku Tensei (which was adapted into an anime series recently), and Truce was one of the fastest-rising boy names last year.

Finally, here’s a selection of the rest of the debuts:

  • 9 baby girls: Eliel, Gelani, Iclynn, Laguna, Nadxheli, Raiha, Tahyssia, Wynrie
  • 8 baby girls: Alaula, Bimori, Canari, Daybelis, Hande, Issoria, Keyleth, Luseh, Malaica, Nashlyn, Roper, Shriva, Vexahlia, Winshaida
  • 7 baby girls: Anzish, Chrome, Dashely, Faela, Gialani, Koriandr, Luvlee, Malou, Nektaria, Reazyn, Saiomi, Takdeer, Tallinn, Wailani, Zenelle
  • 6 baby girls: Aigy, Azurra, Bibihalima, Caiani, Deluna, Emzara, Heva, Idika, Keava, Liserly, Mactzil, Mauve, Millerkate, Nephele, Omisha, Raziella, Sanoa, Talvi, Vidhatri, Wrenlei, Xanai, Ysabeau, Zissi
  • 5 baby girls: Abundance, Aikol, Bomi, Chylo, Dashelly, Esila, Fairlight, Gwiza, Haegan, Ionie, Jaomi, Kolibri, Lifsha, Menata, Nivira, Olalla, Pneuma, Quori, Rasta, Shacarri, Tullie, Valleigh, Xielo, Yaqut, Zoet

Shacarri was no doubt inspired by sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. She’s been making headlines for several years now, but in 2024 specifically she won a pair of medals (gold and silver) at the Paris Olympics.

(And, more generally: Laguna means “lagoon” in Spanish, Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, Mactzil means “miracle” in Mayan, and Pneuma means “breath” in Ancient Greek.)

If you can explain any of the other debuts, please leave a comment!
