Here are the most popular baby names in the US
Noah and Emma continue to be extremely popular names for newborns.
Every year around Mother's Day, the Social Security Administration releases statistics on the popularity of baby names from the previous year. The SSA just released the most popular names from 2015.
As we have in the past, we took a look at how the popularity of the 10 most popular names has shifted over the past decade. Here's the recent share of 2015's most popular boys names:
There hasn't been much of a shift from last year's most popular names. The top six boys names - Noah, Liam, Mason, Jacob, William, and Ethan - were in the same order in 2015 as in 2014. Going a little further back though, we can see the rise of Liam over the past 10 years. The share of boys with that name has more than quadrupled over that time.
Here are the most popular girls names:
As with the boys, there are a lot of similarities to last year's list. The top three girls names - Emma, Olivia, and Sophia - were in the same order in both years. Isabella topped out in popularity in 2010, coinciding with the peak popularity of the "Twilight" franchise, the young-adult book and movie series about vampires whose protagonist was named Bella Swan.
