Social Security began compiling the baby names list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. Each year, the list reveals the impact of pop culture on naming trends. In addition to the most popular baby names from each state (and names for US territories), the Social Security website has a list of the 1,000 most popular names for boys and girls for 2024 and the fastest-rising girls’ and boys’ names.
Most parents apply for their child’s Social Security number (SSN) at birth, during their hospital stay. Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano encourages families to take this vital step to ensure valuable protection for any benefits their children may be eligible for in the future.
An SSN is required to claim a child as a dependent for income tax purposes or to open a bank account in the child’s name and purchase savings bonds. More information on how to obtain a child’s Social Security number and card is available at Social Security Numbers for Children.
