Oliver and Charlotte remained the most popular baby names in Ohio last year, per the latest Social Security Administration data.
By the numbers: Ohio parents are nothing if not consistent. It's the fourth straight year at No. 1 for Oliver (617 babies) and third straight for Charlotte (531).
The intrigue: Lainey barely cracked the top 100 for female names in 2022, then jumped to 25th in 2023 and is now in the top 10.
- Perhaps that's thanks to "country queen" Lainey Wilson.
Mr. and Ms. Irrelevant: Dylan and Juniper squeaked into the Ohio lists, each at No. 100.
