Delaware's top baby names in 2024. Here's a little help to name your newborn
Are you having or adopting a baby this year? One of the multitude of choices you'll have to make as a parent is what to name your little bundle of joy. It's a very personal choice with long-term ramifications. Pick a trendy name or spelling (Jaxson or La–a, pronounced Ladasha) and by the time the child is an adult, he or she has a burden for a lifetime. Pick a name like John or Mary, and the name may be boring or ordinary. Of course, names like Ajax, Otto and Moe have seemed to be lost in time. If you want to go with the flow, here's a look at the most popular names in 2024, according to the Social Security Administration. The SSA recorded 22,164 babies born given the name Liam and 20,337 named Noah. Among girls, 14,718 were named Olivia; 13,485 were named Emma.
