Top Ten Baby Names

The Year's Top Ten Baby Names List Is Here!

Top ten baby names will often fluctuate from year to year, but have really changed quite a bit over the last century. In 2005 the top 3 boy names were Jacob, Michael, and Joshua. Compare that to 100 years prior when the top 3 boys names of 1905 were John, William, and James. For women, the name fluctuation is often more dramatic. The top 3 names of 2005 for girls were Emily, Emma, and Madison. Just 100 years prior the top 3 girls names were Mary, Helen, and Margaret. Interestingly enough, Emily (the top girls name of 2005) isn't even listed in the top 100 from 1905!
