how these were worked out
- Source: the Social Security Administration's national files for 2024 and 2025 (ssa.gov), which count every name given to at least five babies.
- Girls and boys are ranked separately by number of babies. Tied names share a rank, so a few ranks differ by one or two from SSA's own lists, which number tied names one after another.
- Climbers and fallers are names in the top 1,000 in both years. A name's page on HushName shows the same ranks, back to the earliest year on record.
